LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

Keypan Asks Okay to Add 250 Megawatts at NYC Plant
LCG, Aug. 2, 2000--Keyspan Corp. said yesterday it has asked the New York State Public Service Commission for authority to expand by 250 megawatts the generating capacity of its Ravenswood power plant in Long Island City, a community in the New York City borough of Queens.The company claims that when the expansion is complete, the gas-fired plant will be the cleanest and most efficient generating station in New York City. Its already the largest, and its 2,168 megawatts capacity accounts for 28 percent of the electric generation located in the city.In a prepared statement, Robert B. Catell, chief executive of Keyspan, said "New York City has a critical need for electric power. An expanded Ravenswood power plant would help ensure that the city has adequate capacity to meet the ever-increasing demand for electricity. Additional sources of power are necessary to sustain and expand economic growth in New York City and the metropolitan area. A Ravenswood expansion can achieve this in an environmentally sensitive manner."According to Keyspan, this year New York City is 300 megawatts short of meeting its reliability requirement for in-city electric-generation capacity, and the City's demand for electricity continues to grow at the rate of approximately 150 megawatts per year.
