AES Indiana seeks public input on coal ash contamination corrective measures at Harding Street Station

INDIANAPOLIS AES Indiana is considering different solutions to remedy coal ash contamination at the Harding Street Generating Station.

Our priority is to be open and transparent," President Brandi Davis-Handy said.

AES Indiana educated the public about its Corrective Measures Assessment on Tuesday.

Groundwater monitoring results found levels of arsenic, lithium and molybdenum above groundwater protection standards.

In order to comply with the EPAs Coal Combustion Residual (CCR) Rule, AES needs to take corrective measures.

The ultimate objective of this evaluation is to select a remedy in accordance to the CCR Rule requirements, which is the next step in the process," Steve Putrich, engineer with Haley and Aldrich, the environmental consulting firm retained by AES, said.
