EPA Releases Coal Ash Facility Action Plans

February 4, 2010, was a significant day for electric utility facilities with coal ash impoundments.  On that day, the EPA released to the public "action plans" developed by twenty two facilities with coal ash impoundments. Those action plans describe the measures the facilities are taking to make their impoundments safer.
 
Not only did the EPA release the action plans of the utilities, but it also took the opportunity to introduce reports relating to the structural integrity of forty other coal ash impoundment sites across the nation.  According to the EPA, “most of the 40 impoundments have a rating of “high” or “significant” hazard potential, indicating the potential for harm in the event of impoundment failure.”
