The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to accept a state-level plan that sets emission limits for three oil-fired generators at the Big Six Towers facility in Queens, New York. The building provides power and steam to an apartment complex and retail space.
Why it matters: This action updates the federally approved air quality plan for a single industrial site in Queens. It ensures that local emissions from these specific engines meet federal standards without requiring the building owner to install new equipment or change operations beyond what is already permitted.
Who it affects
- The Big Six Towers facility and its operator
This information comes from a proposed rule published by the EPA in the Federal Register regarding approval of source-specific air quality implementation plans.
