Dan River Coal Ash Spill
Heavy equipment operators place riprap stone at Duke Energy’s Dan River Power Plant. The stone is being placed in the interior of the coal ash retention pond to create a stable foundation to move heavy equipment in place to reach and seal the broken pipe. The broken pipe will have concrete grout placed inside to form a plug and prevent additional coal ash from escaping. (USACE photo by Ben Lackey)
