Waste-to-energy facility agrees to control emissions

April 8

A Rochester, Minn., waste-to-energy facility has agreed to better control its emissions under a federal consent order.

In December, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notified the Olmsted Waste-to-Energy Facility that it violated the Clean Air Act by not properly controlling mercury, dioxin and furan emissions.

The facility, a small municipal solid waste-to-energy plant, has agreed to comply with federal regulations.
