The state Environmental Management Commission, or EMC, on Thursday voted to seek public comment on the Department of Environmental Quality's primary plan for complying with new federal rules for controlling carbon emissions.
The Department of Environmental Quality, or DEQ, will present to the Environmental Management Commission, or EMC, this week its primary plan in response to the federal power plan rule for controlling carbon dioxide emissions. The primary plan consists of a proposed rule for improving efficiencies at the state’s electric generating units. The primary plan is based on the only component of the federal power plan rule that the department believes is legal. Allowing this proposed rule to go to hearing will ensure that the state can meet the federal power plan’s September 2016 deadline.
