For decades, Georgia Power operated 11 power plants and disposed of millions of tons of toxic coal ash, primarily in unlined ponds, with little regu latory oversight by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (EPD), or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Tests by the CDC, EPA and other organi zations found that coal ash contains hazardous pollutants, such as arsenic, boron, chro mium, cobalt, lead, radium, selenium and others that can severely harm human health, fish and wildlife. “The levels of multiple toxic pollutants found at Georgia plants exceed levels that are safe for human consumption,” the report notes. Earthjustice said that Georgia Power made its new groundwater data available in a form that was very difficult to understand, and consequently the data required technical and legal analysis that the groups recently completed. “The average length of the reports posted by Georgia Power was more than 2,400 pages,” the report notes. Because Plant Branch was retired in 2015, according to the report, Georgia Power maintains that the CCR rule does not apply to its ash pits at that site. “This means that many of the documents posted for regulated coal plants (annual groundwater monitoring reports, documentation of history of construc tion and liner type, etc.) are not available for this plant under the public disclosure requirements of the CCR rule,” the report states. According to Earthjustice, using groundwater-moni toring data posted for Plant Branch as part of its ash pond closure process, coupled with prior records, they were able to establish that the groundwater is contam inated with coal ash constituents and unsafe. “The pollutants presenting a risk at Plant Branch include beryl lium in one well and cobalt in multiple wells,” the report finds. “In one THE GROUNDWATER AT PLANT BRANCH IS UNSAFE Well Pollutant Health threshold Mean concentration Maximum concentration BRGWC-271 Cobalt (jjg/L) 6 11.4 14.9 BRGWC-291 Cobalt (jjg/L) 6 11.7 13.6 BRGWC-33S Cobalt (jjg/L) 6 55.5 61.2 BRGWC-38S Beryllium (|jg/L) 4 9.5 10.4 Cobalt (jjg/L) 6 270.4 298.0 PZ-41S Cobalt (jjg/L) 6 11.1 17.8 Read breaking news online and subscribe to your hometown newspaper at www.bbnews.today WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S In honor of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Georgia College will recognize student work from Baldwin County Schools, John Milledge Academy, Sinclair Christian Academy, EBLA, Georgia College Early College and Georgia Military College.

The company now plans to excavate all the ash from the ponds onsite and then store the 11.5 million tons of coal ash in a new, lined land fill on plant property. According to Georgia Power, EPD will regulate that landfill.
