SEQUOYAH TIMES: AES, which operates a coal-fired power plant at Shady Point south of Sallisaw on U.S. Highway 59, has withdrawn its application for an air permit application from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, and apparently discarded plans to build a bigger plant.

The expansion of the new coal-fired generation plant was opposed by several environmental groups, including the Sequoyah County Clean Air Coalition.
