The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has scheduled a new round of public hearing sessions to accept public comments on its proposed action to approve an air permit to Energy Answers International Inc., which has announced plans to build a $500 million, 77-megawatt waste-to-energy plant at the former site of the Global Fibers Paper Mill in Arecibo.
The town of Arecibo has reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to resolve violations of the Clean Water Act and violations of its Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday.
Arecibo-area residents got their chance to express their concerns about the waste-to-energy incinerator project that New York-based Energy Answers is proposing to build in their neighborhood during an informative meeting that drew heavy participation this week.
