Proposal for integrated coal gasification combined cycle plant provokes laughter, decision on permit for the plant postponed. southbendtribune.com Excerpt: Earlier, many in the audience laughed when Tondu told the council that very small amounts of some emissions from the plant would have little or no impact on the surrounding area. But, he said, that needs more study to confirm. They laughed when he told the council that the company would monitor the groundwater and provide results to the county Health Department. They laughed when a council member questioned Thomas Easterly, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, about IDEM essentially being a rubber stamp for such projects. Easterly denied that the agency would be a rubber stamp. He insisted the company would have to meet strict rules regarding environmental effects. Easterly spoke in favor of the council approving the special permit, saying it is clean technology. But many in the crowd laughed again when Easterly was challenged by a council member that his speaking in favor of the project would cause IDEM to not be a fair arbiter when Tondu comes with an application for environmental permits.
