The Environmental Protection Agency has finalized a rule approving a revision to New York’s State Implementation Plan. This change sets specific emission limits for nitrogen oxides at the Athens Generating Plant, a natural gas and oil-fired power facility in New York state.
Why it matters: This action is primarily administrative but ensures that the Athens Generating Plant remains in compliance with federal clean air standards. By incorporating state permit conditions into the federally enforceable State Implementation Plan, the EPA clarifies what rules apply and who enforces them, which helps avoid legal ambiguity for both the facility and regulators.
