Mirant plans Hughesville meeting on fly ash recycling

Maryland Independent, by NANCY BROMLEY McCONATY

Plans to build a fly ash recycling facility at Mirant Mid-Atlantic’s Morgantown plant on the Potomac River are receiving mixed reviews from the community.

On the one hand, an effort to 100 percent recycle the toxic byproduct of burning coal to produce electricity is great news because currently the stuff is trucked to landfills in Faulkner and Brandywine where, despite the best efforts of the company, it leaches into the groundwater, community activists said.

In fact, the Maryland Department of the Environment has a pending lawsuit in Charles County Circuit Court in La Plata that calls for closing the Faulkner plant that has been open since 1970, according to Jay Apperson, MDE spokesman. The lawsuit, which is tentatively scheduled to be heard April 2 in La Plata, also calls for the site to be cleaned up, he said.

  • 1. · The first words out of Mirant’s local attorney at last night's hearing was that not only will Faulkner close but it has already shut its gates becuase the site is full.

    The next question is what to do with more than thirty years of fly ash.

  • 2. ·
    The only possible glitch in the plans is that about 27 trucks would make an anticipated 54 round trips a day from Chalk Point to Morgantown, Allen said. The sealed tanker trucks would travel through Hughesville from Monday through Friday to carry the fly ash to the recycling facility in Morgantown, she said.
    Just spoke to Nancy to confirm - curious why Misty Allen quoted 27 trucks (54 round trips) vs. the 40 trucks (80 round trips) - the number that was given to us in our meeting with her.

    Also, I'm hearing conflicting statements about whether Mirant will close the Faulkner landfill.

    formerly known on the ‘Duck as CCCitizen and, unless otherwise stated, any opinions expressed are those of my own.

  • 3. · But, yet, in this article in the Baltimore Sun, today: But spokeswoman Misty Allen denied a report that Mirant Mid-Atlantic plans to close its coal-ash landfill there, which is the focus of a state lawsuit alleging pollution of a Chesapeake Bay tributary.

  • 4. · I just checked my notes from the meeting with Misty - she told us 40 trucks average - she said it could be as many as 65 trucks (130 round trips). ?????

  • 5. · That was most definitely contradicted at last night's hearing.

  • 6. · With this many truck traveling these roads think of the damage that will be done and who pays for this? Mirant should have to pony up a few millions as an insurance policy to repair roads, accidents and any other damage we all know these big trucks cause.
