MARQUETTE — The demolition of the Presque Isle Power Plant’s baghouse has been paused, according to officials.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy halted a portion of the demolition process due to concerns about dust coming from the demolition of a baghouse at the plant, EGLE officials said. A baghouse is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “a device or facility in which particulates are removed from a stream of exhaust gases as the stream passes through a large cloth bag.”
