Dominion Resources to pay $13.2 million to settle out-of-state air pollution violations [USA]

Dominion Resources…will pay $13.2 million to settle federal air pollution violations at three out-of-state power plants…“We have operated these stations in full compliance with the Clean Air Act, and we deny the allegations,” company spokesman Dan Genest said. “We are justifiably proud of our environmental record, which includes spending more than $3 billion for environmental controls across our fleet since 2000.” Dominion agreed to the settlement with the U.S. Justice Department and the Environmental Protection Agency…rather than engage in a drawn-out and expensive legal fight, Genest said…“This settlement will improve air quality in states in the Midwest and Northeast by eliminating tens of thousands of tons of harmful air pollution each year,” said Ignacia S. Moreno, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division.
