June 7, 6:00 PM
The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality (DAQ) will host a public hearing on Monday, June 7 on a draft permit modification for the Duke Energy Progress, LLC – Roxboro Steam Electric Plant. The proposed modification includes the ash handling and hauling activities required for the excavation and closure of the coal ash impoundments. The excavated coal combustion residuals will be placed in a new lined landfill located onsite at 1700 Dunnaway Road in Semora, North Carolina.
The Department approved the closure plan for the Roxboro coal ash impoundments on August 14, 2020. The closure by excavation is consistent with the 2020 Settlement Agreement and signed Consent Order between DEQ, community and environmental groups, and Duke Energy.
Members of the public are invited to attend the hearing online or by phone and provide their comments on the proposed permit.
