As we continue work to safely close our ash basins, we have a number of projects underway at the Roxboro Plant. We recently mailed a postcard to update plant neighbors who live close to the plant. |

January – July 2018 |
Contractors will use land near the corner of Semora and Concord-Ceffo roads from mid-January through July as a temporary lay-down and pipe fabrication area. This is part of the company’s work to prepare the Roxboro ash basins for closure. |

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. July 31, 2017
In preparation for ash basin closure, we are removing trees and grubbing an area on our property that will be used for a new, lined water treatment basin. The work will last several weeks, and you may notice logging trucks leaving the plant site.
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.
