Title

  • Illinois EPA's Ash Impoundment Strategy Progress Report

Description

  • In response to the massive coal ash spill at a Tennessee Valley Authority facility, Illinois EPA developed an aggressive strategy to assess ash impoundments at coal fired power plants. Since the early 1990s, new ash ponds (surface impoundments) have been required to be lined1 and groundwater monitoring wells have been installed at many of these new ash impoundments. An inventory of power plants with surface impoundments permitted by the Illinois EPA under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit program has been created. There are 24 power plants in Illinois with a total of 83 ash impoundments.
