Jan. 29--The federal government sued East Kentucky Power Cooperative yesterday, saying it polluted the air after modifying plants without getting the proper permits or installing new technology.

The power plants involved are the Dale Plant in Clark County, and the Spurlock Plant in Mason County.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Lexington, says changes to the plants in the 1990s put "massive amounts" of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides and particulate matter into the air.

The suit asks for penalties of as much as $25,000 a day before Jan. 1, 1997, and $27,500 a day since then. It also asks that East Kentucky Power install and operate the "best available control technology" at the plants.
