What are the consequences to White Stallion Energy Center if it violates its permits and harms the public?
White Stallion Energy Center would be subject to massive financial penalties. If it were determined that the violations were intentional, White Stallion would be subject to criminal prosecution. That said, White Stallion does not intend to violate permit conditions. Too much planning has gone into this development for that to occur. Furthermore, in order to receive financial backing for construction, White Stallion had to ensure that this plant would operate effectively and efficiently. Prior to submitting the permit applications, the emissions and discharges were evaluated for capability to meet permit conditions. Discussions were held with vendors of process equipment and with pollution control equipment to determine what was needed for compliance. Many tests will be performed during start-up of the plant to verify that the plant is meeting or exceeding what was represented in the permit applications.
