In order to meet federal and state regulations there's a beehive of activity going on at the LaCygne power plant with the most visible being a new smokestack located on the South edge of the complex. The larger single stack is part of renovations that include a new baghouse, wet scrubber and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to reduce emissions.
The work is being done to comply with federal EPA air quality regulations that go in effect June 1, 2015.
