Learn more about our emergency action plans for coal ash facilities. Ash basins continue to operate safely and are highly regulated. Removing water and permanently closing basins, work that is already planned or underway, adds an additional margin of safety. Inundation maps are planning tools that illustrate a worst-case scenario and depict the areas that could be impacted in the unlikely event of a complete dam failure. |

With the completed excavation of the Units 1-4 ash basin, we will begin work to modify the dam. This work may be visible at times from the Broad River. We will be using heavy equipment and bringing in materials, like stone, to complete this work. |

2017 - 2018 |
Work is underway to prepare for safely closing ash basins. This includes designing and constructing new retention basins for water management; installing state-of-the-art wastewater treatment systems; and installing new equipment to manage all coal ash dry rather than sending it to ash basins. While the work itself will occur on plant property, neighbors may notice periodic equipment deliveries and an increase in construction activities. |

Formerly: Cliffside Steam Station
Retirement: 2011 (Units 1-4)
Capacity: 1,387 megawatts
Location: Cleveland and Rutherford counties, North Carolina
Commercial Date: 1940
Status: Operating
In 2013, the Cliffside Steam Station was renamed after James E. Rogers Jr., a former CEO of Duke Energy. The coal- and natural gas-fired units are still referred to as Cliffside units 5 and 6. Units 1-4 were constructed between 1938 and 1948 and retired in 2011. In 2018, natural gas was added to the station, allowing up to 40% natural gas co-firing on unit 5 and up to 100% on unit 6. For every pound of coal displaced with natural gas, sulfur dioxide will be reduced by an estimated 99%, and carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by about 40% per megawatt-hour.

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality approved the ash basin closure plan for Rogers Energy Complex (Cliffside Steam Station) based on its determination that the plan is “protective of public health, safety, and welfare; the environment; and natural resources and otherwise complies with the requirements of CAMA” (North Carolina’s Coal Ash Management Act). |

Began transporting coal ash from our Asheville Plant to the fully lined Cliffside landfill on plant property. We plan to initially focus on transporting during daylight hours with a fleet of trucks making up to 2-3 turns per weekday. This plan will continue to be evaluated for safety and efficiencies. Trucks transporting ash will go through a truck wash system before leaving the sites, will be fitted with a tightly fitted tarp on top and will be monitored for speed and driving safety.
