Each stack is {{convert|600|ft|m}} tall.[2][5] Age and pollutionIn 2005, a coalition of New York environmental groups issued a report which named the Northport Power Station as the number one polluting plant on Long Island and the second most polluting plant in the Northeast. The plant outputs 5.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year.[6] The reason for these concerns primarily lay with the age of the power plant. The plant was constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, using technologies which are now outdated. When Unit-4 was completed in 1977[5] it was among the last conventional oil fired-units built in the United States.[2] The plant is exempt from Clean Air Act emissions standards because it was grandfathered in when the law was passed.[7] As a result of pollution and health concerns, United States Senator Charles E. Schumer and Suffolk County Legislator Jon Cooper have been calling for modernizing the inefficient Northport Power Station.[7][8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dec.ny.gov/enb/20071017_reg1.html |title=ENB Region 1 Completed Applications 17 October 2007 |accessdate=2007-12-04 |publisher=Department of Environmental Consvervation }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web | title = Gas- and Oil-Fired Plants in New York | publisher = Power Plants Around The World | date = May 24, 2006 | url = http://www.industcards.com/st-other-usa-ny.htm | accessdate = 2007-12-04 | deadurl = yes | archiveurl = http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090718122828/http://www.industcards.com/st%2Dother%2Dusa%2Dny.htm | archivedate = July 18, 2009 | df = }} 3. ^{{cite web | title = KeySpan is now National Grid | publisher = National Grid USA | url = http://www2.nationalgridus.com/customer/homefaq_ny_kedli.jsp | accessdate = 2008-05-29 }} 4. ^1 {{cite web | title = National Grid / KeySpan Announce Management Agreement With LIPA | publisher = National Grid USA | url = http://www2.nationalgridus.com/corpinfo/newsroom/2007/2007_03_23_1174677057848_all.jsp | accessdate = 2008-05-29 }} 5. ^1 {{cite web| title = Structure Diagrams | publisher = Skyscraper Source Media | url = http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?32732016 | accessdate = 2007-12-13}} 6. ^{{cite news | title= Northport's Dirty Burden | date = 2005-08-21 | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/21/opinion/nyregionopinions/LI_Energy.html | newspaper=The New York Times | accessdate = 2007-12-04 }} 7. ^1 {{cite press release | title = Schumer Calls For Modernization Of Northport, Port Jefferson Power Plants; Long Island Among Worst In Nation For Smog And Ozone Levels | publisher = United States Congress (via Charles E.
