Energy project conditions revisited
Robinson, Washington County, supervisors are expected to review the conditions they placed on approval of the Beech Hollow Energy Project during a special meeting at 7 p.m. Monday in the municipal building, 8400 Noblestown Road.
John Smith, township attorney, said Tuesday that developers Robinson Power Co. and Champion Processing Inc. have asked to clarify the wording on a few of the conditions. After the clarifications are made, the developers can accept the conditions or appeal.
When the two side-by-side power plants were approved Jan. 9-one fueled by waste coal and the other by natural gas-the developers were given 10 business days to agree to the 55-condition document. Mr. Smith said he has extended that period to 30 days to allow time to make the clarifications.
"I don't want there to be any dispute as to what it says," Mr. Smith said.
