The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality heard opening statements Tuesday in an attempt by the Hempstead Hunting Club to have Southwestern Electric Power Co.'s air quality permit for the plant revoked.
Lawyer for the hunting club Rick Addison said the models regulators relied on to determine the plant's impact on air quality didn't accurately convey conditions in Hempstead County.
SWEPCO attorney Kelly McQueen defended the project, which she said would be the cleanest pulverized coal plant in the country.
The hearing is expected to last two weeks.
