The same Atlanta judge that sent Plant Washington’s water permits back to environmental regulators earlier this summer will be hearing the case against the air permits.
Enviromentalists argue plant developers used flawed models when predicting pollution levels. They say the plant will release more air pollution than the current permits allow.
Power for Georgians EMC, which is building the plant near Sandersville, says the permits meet state and federal requirements. It calls the lawsuit “nothing more than delay tactics”.
Testimony could last up to three weeks.
