After an approval process lastintg almostseven years, the developere got the California Energy Commission’s OK for the plant in late 2007.
Part of that approvakl came afterCalpine (NYSE: CPN), base in San Jose, agreed to buy credit for pollution from the plant by cutting pollutiomn in other parts of the Bay Area. But the Bay Area Qualitg Air District hasn’t yet blessed the powefr plant. Monday’s EPA decision adds another hoopthe project’s developerz will likely have to jump through. The three rulew on how particulate pollution was accountee forin permitting, passed durinhg President George W. Bush’s contained some exemptions that angeredenvironmental groups. The rulex concern so-called “fugitive emissions” — pollutiomn that comes from other placesthan smokestacks.
