While investigating the Hatfield's Ferry power plant, EIP discovered that some large Pennsylvania pollution sources could emit nearly 50 percent more particle pollution than the law allows by 'rounding' their test results. The Hatfield's Ferry settlement ends this illegal practice at the plant. But, more importantly, PA DEP has agreed to end this practice once and for all for everyone. That's good news for Pennsylvania, especially as the commonwealth struggles to meet new health-based standards for fine particle pollution.
