Thompson River Co-Gen

The Thompson River Co-Gen project has been built, but it stopped operating Sept. 2005 due to permit violations. In Nov. 2007, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality settled its enforcement action against Thompson River Co-Gen LLC, reducing its original penalty demand of $2 million to a $200,000 settlement.
