Tenaska’s Plant Faces Scrutiny | Charlottesville News

Tenaska is moving ahead with its controversial Expedition Generating Station, hosting an environmental open house July 28th to address community concerns before filing its wastewater permit — a shift from their original timeline. The project, approved by Fluvanna County supervisors, seeks a strict Prevention of Significant Deterioration air permit, triggering scrutiny over emissions, especially fine particulate matter PM2.5, now under tighter federal standards. Local groups like Fluvanna Horizons warn of health risks across Central Virginia, pushing for a more inclusive Q&A, while Tenaska insists emissions will stay below limits and vows to use best available control tech — even if regulations change. Critics argue taller stacks just disperse pollution wider, not eliminate it, raising alarms for vulnerable residents.
