EcoVAP Solution for Coal Power Compliance with Coal Ash Rule

EcoVAP Solution for Coal Power Compliance with Coal Ash Rule

November 22, 2022

In November 2023, the environmental law group Earthjustice released a 212-page report on the difficulties of coal fired thermoelectric plants in complying with the Coal Ash Rule.  The new report (an update from the initial 2019 report), estimates that "91% of coal plants are causing unsafe levels of groundwater contamination”, but also highlights many coal-fired power generators that have already or are planning to remedy these problems.  With the ability to dewater tailings ponds, EcoVAP has proven its ability to provide a low cost, environmentally friendly means of dramatically remedying this challenge, with one client achieving an 85% reduction in land footprint and a 40% decrease in handling costs (see https://www.ecovap.com/case-studies/thermoelectric-power-plant).
