DNR: More Wis. power plants violate Clean Air Act

At least five more state-run power plants are not in compliance with federal clean air regulations and need to install tighter pollution controls, Gov. Jim Doyleâ??s administration acknowledged Friday. The Department of Administration said it would reduce coal use, use cleaner alternative fuels or otherwise limit emissions at plants that heat UW-Eau Claire, UW-La Crosse, UW-Oshkosh, UW-River Falls and Mendota Mental Health Institute.
