"INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana environmental regulators are reviewing utilities’ cleanup plans for dozens of coal ash ponds, with one environmental group concerned that the plans don’t do enough to address potential contamination.
The cleanup efforts come after utilities across the country admitted last year to leaking toxic chemicals from their coal ash ponds into nearby groundwater, The Indianapolis Star reported. Indiana is home to roughly 85 coal ash ponds — more than any other state — which hold more than 60 million cubic yards of coal ash.
The Northern Indiana Public Service Company said it plans to remove ash from five ponds at one of its plants. Several other utilities, including Duke Energy, plan to keep the ash in place when they close their ponds."
