Sierra Club sues DNR for power-plant records

The Sierra Club sued the state Department of Natural Resources on Monday to obtain public records that it requested in October. The records involve four University of Wisconsin System coal-fired power plants that the environmental group alleges have been violating the federal Clean Air Act. The plants are at the campuses of UW-La Crosse, UW-Eau Claire, UW-Stevens Point and UW-Stout in Menomonie.
