Title: PacifiCorp estimates of CCR compliance are challenged

HEAL questioned the PacifiCorp plans to meet CCR in September 2016. (See details in McIlvaine's Coal Fired Power Plant Decisions.) As of October 19, 2015, PacifiCorp had nine surface impoundments and four landfills that are subject to the CCR rule. PacifiCorp is currently in the process of closing four of the nine impoundments. *However, EPA recently vacated the provisions of its 2015 coal ash rule exempting early closure impoundments. Therefore, PacifiCorp’s four early closure impoundments will be subject to additional compliance obligations, including monitoring and possibly remediation requirements. In addition, Rocky Mountain Power has posted CCR Rule and Compliance Data and Information on its Webpage, as the EPA’s CCR rule requires. These documents outline the company’s plans with regard to the Dave Johnston, Hunter, Huntington, Jim Bridger, and Naughton power plants. While this information is helpful, HEAL says is incomplete for purposes of integrated resource planning.
