Coal Gasification Plant
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Division of Water held a public hearing to invite comments on a wastewater discharge permit for a planned coal gasification plant in western Kentucky. The hearing for the Cash Creek Generation plant focused on proposed modifications to the wastewater permit. The state had issued a final wastewater permit for the plant in February. But it made revisions to it after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in May challenged the issuance of the permit. The estimated $2 billion project in Henderson County would convert coal into synthetic natural gas.
