Cleaning Up Coal Ash For Good Coal Ash Report Summary and Policy Recommendations

Through case studies, KirK Engineering & Natural Resources presents examples of community planning and redevelopment success stories at retired U.S. industrial facilities. The studies were selected based on the proposed redevelopment end use or the process used to engage a community in the redevelopment process. Based on these studies, the report presents recommendations and potential options for redevelopment of the Michigan City Generation Station.

This report by a team of economists estimates the economic benefits associated with coal ash cleanup and remediation at the three power plants analyzed by KirK Engineering & Natural Resources in Montana, South Carolina, and Indiana. AEC’s analyses presents the economic impacts of two cleanup options estimated using (1) descriptions and costs of cleanup and remediation activities developed by KirK Engineering & Natural Resources Inc. and (2) AEC custom analysis using the IMPLAN model.

This report by environmental engineers provides a detailed analysis of closure and cleanup of coal ash located at three different coal plants located in Montana, South Carolina, and Indiana, evaluating the benefits, cost, and direct job creation under two differing closure plans for each facility.
