Coal Ash Move Approved by Regulators | Roanoke News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Appalachian Power just got the go-ahead to move millions of cubic yards of coal ash from its shuttered Glen Lyn plant—potentially hazardous waste destined for a new landfill on their West Virginia property. With no public outcry and minimal scrutiny, regulators approved the plan citing cost-effectiveness, while customers may soon face $1.60 to $2.28 monthly surcharges for 11 years to cover cleanup costs. Construction starts this year, with ash relocation beginning late next year—and all under a 15-year deadline set by Virginia law.
