8 February 2008 -- The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a final air permit for the 1,000 MW, $2.5 billion coal-fired American Municipal Power Letart Falls station.

The EPA says the permit requires AMP-Ohio to use the best available control technology to limit emissions of carbon monoxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide and a variety of other pollutants. The agency said the mercury emission limit is more stringent than what is required for any other power plant in Ohio.
