Collection of Wall Maps

This collection of maps highlight the intentional practice of utility companies to build power plants on top of small creeks and next to rivers or waterways to actual as natural drainage for their coal ash storage systems.

The first set of maps represent the active coal ash plants and include the date the power plant is set to retire. Some of the plants have shifted to natural gas, including: Belews Creek, Cliffside, and Marshall. Duke Energy will discontinue burning coal by 2035.
