The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in state district court in Santa Fe, alleging multiple violations of New Mexico's Air Quality Control Act. The facility is located near the border between El Paso, Texas, and Sunland Park, N.M.

El Paso Electric spokeswoman Teresa Souza says the lawsuit is an old dispute about some ambiguous language in an air permit that has been clarified.

She says the plant is in compliance with the air permit.

The Environment Department claims El Paso Electric violated more than 350 of the maximum emission rates for oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide and failed to report deviations from the maximum emission rates.
