Our Concerns
Our concerns:
· The Division of Waste Management should not grant the permit until after EPA finalizes the new coal ash rules; and the permit should incorporate provisions of the new regulations.
· LG&E needs to phase out burning coal as soon as possible, and to start transitioning to solar and hydropower soon.
· LG&E should move the location of the ash dump site out of the flood plain,
· LG&E must use state of the art liners wherever they dump coal combustion waste to avoid groundwater contamination
· This landfill should not be permitted until LG&E has stopped all leakage from the existing landfill and remediated the contamination there.
· Good monitoring wells must be required with enforceable monitoring and reporting requirements so we have scientific groundwater monitoring that is enforceable around the coal ash dump.
· LG&E must redesign the landfill to minimize the destruction of streams and wetlands.
