CCR Rule Compliance Data and Information

On April 17, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a final rule for management and disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs) from electric utilities. In 2018, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management issued its state CCR rule, which closely tracks the federal rule. 

Our Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs) plans for closure and groundwater protection fully comply with current state and federal law. Our plans are approved by ADEM and are certified by professional engineers. We have been and will continue to be transparent about the closure process by posting reports and updates here. We are committed to completing closure, groundwater protection, and long-term monitoring in a manner that is compliant with state and federal law and ensures ongoing protection of public health and the environment.
