Supervisors in Robinson, Washington County, on Monday night granted power plant developers an additional 15 business days to accept the 55 conditions included in a township approval.
The board also voted to clarify some language in its Jan. 10 written decision, as requested by members of the public and power plant applicants Robinson Power Co. and Champion Processing Inc.
"We weren't changing anything substantive," township attorney John Smith said.
The developers have until about Feb. 14 to decide whether to accept the conditions or to appeal them. Failure to accept the conditions will cause the township to revoke its approval, Mr. Smith said.
The Beech Hollow Energy Project plan includes two side-by-side power plants -- one fueled by waste coal and the other by natural gas -- near the North Fayette and Allegheny County borders.
