Questions over a greenhouse gas emission plan at a proposed coal-fired energy plant in Marshalltown are not enough to derail the project, state regulators have ruled.
The Iowa Utilities Board said Alliant Energy had not "been as forthcoming as it should have been" in its response to questions about its emissions plan for the proposed Sutherland Unit 4 Generating Station.
But the board said it would not be appropriate to toss out the project now, as several environmental groups had requested.
According to the board's March 21 ruling, Alliant's greenhouse gas emissions plan was not filed properly with the utilities board. If it is to be considered, the overall project plan would have to be resubmitted to the board.
