Cliffside "Minor" Source Issue Public Hearings

Duke is contending that the new Cliffside coal-unit will be a "minor source" of toxins like mercury. Why? If the state agrees, then Duke Energy will not be required to achieve maximum controls for toxins emitted by the plant. There will be two public hearings on this "minor source" issue - one in Forest City, one in Statesville.

On 6 p.m. Jan. 22 at Statesville Senior High School, 474 N. Center St. in Statesville.
An initial hearing will be held at 6 p.m. Jan. 15 in Forest City, near the plant, at Chase High School, 1603 Chase High School Road.
