The Boston private equity firm that owns the power plant has not commented on the decision, but coal supporters see the move as another phase of a long-running campaign to shut down their industry.
Coal ash regulations were finalized in the last year of the Obama Administration but went unenforced under President Donald Trump. It wasn’t until earlier this year that the Biden Administration signaled it would revoke permission for some coal plants to dump ash into unlined ponds.
“There is no coordinated effort by the Biden Administration to be certain their agencies' actions do not disrupt the grid,” he said. “We remain hopeful that the operators of Gavin will find a way to comply with the orders, that is if the U.S. EPA fairly considers alternatives, and I am not hopeful about that probability.”PJM Interconnection
Studies show that workers exposed to coal ash are more likely to be diagnosed with respiratory ailments and diseases like COPD.
