a March 2 letter from the department.
An environmental group on Monday filed a lawsuit against the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, demanding that the department hold a formal hearing on a controversial coal-fired power plant near Holcomb.
The Sierra Club, which filed the suit in Shawnee County District Court, said it asked for a "quasi-judicial hearing" in February so it could challenge parts of Sunflower Electric Power Corp.'s application for a permit to add three 700-megawatt units to its existing 350-megawatt plant.
The Hays-based company wants the department to declare that the project would meet all applicable standards for controlling air pollution. KDHE is still reviewing hundreds of pages of comments about the project, spokesman Joe Blubaugh said.
It says that request was denied in
He said the department's legal staff wasn't available to comment on the lawsuit.
