Ohio EPA hearing set on new site for Clyde power plant
Sandusky-Clyde Energy Solutions moved its planned natural gas plant to Premier Drive, which requires a new air permit. The hearing is Aug. 4.
Ohio EPA will hold a public information session and hearing at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, in the Clyde High School auditorium, 1015 Race St., on a draft air pollution control permit for a proposed electric power plant in Clyde.
The agency held a public meeting on the Sandusky-Clyde Energy Solutions plant in September 2010 and issued a construction permit earlier this year. The developers have since moved the project from 1357 McPherson Highway (U.S. 20) to an industrial park at 300 Premier Drive, so a new permit is needed. The plant design is unchanged: seven natural gas reciprocating engines.
The draft permit would cap annual emissions at 11.62 tons of carbon monoxide, 2.73 tons of nitrogen oxides and 0.28 tons of volatile organic compounds. Ohio EPA staff will explain the permit at the session, and the public can comment at the hearing.
