The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will hold a series of public information sessions near six coal ash facilities across North Carolina where communities can learn about options for closing coal ash impoundments. The sessions will offer question and answer tables about specific topics relating to environmental and public health considerations, and the opportunity for community members to express their views about proposed criteria to guide DEQ’s coal ash closure decision-making process.
The meetings will be held at 6:00 p.m. on the following dates and will discuss how those options pertain to issues of groundwater, surfacewater, air quality and dam safety, and public safety and welfare:
