State environmental regulators will hold a series of public hearings in February on plans to excavate coal ash at six Duke Energy plants around the state.
An agreement between regulators and Duke last month calls for removing 80 million tons of coal ash at the sites to new lined landfills.
The Department of Environmental Quality says each of the hearings will include an introduction to the plans and Q&A, followed by public comments.
Information for our public hearing:
Feb. 18, 6 p.m., Belews Creek Steam Station Closure Plans, Walnut Cove Elementary School gymnasium, 1211 Walnut Cove School Road, Walnut Cove.
