The Environmental Protection Agency has officially approved a change to New York State’s air quality plan for the Calpine JFK Energy Center. This facility, which provides electricity and steam to John F. Kennedy International Airport, requested permission to use different emission limits than the standard state rule requires.
Why it matters: This action formalizes the emission limits into New York’s federally enforceable State Implementation Plan. It confirms that the current controls on these specific airport boilers meet federal requirements for Reasonably Available Control Technology, ensuring compliance without requiring new equipment upgrades.
