South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) has settled a lawsuit accusing the utility of illegally discharging arsenic and other contaminants into a river near Columbia, SC. The settlement announced on Monday includes an agreement to remove all of the coal ash now being stored at the 700 MW Wateree Station, according to attorneys for the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation. The environmental group sued SCE&G earlier this year, saying that the company stores wet coal ash in earthen lagoons near its power plant and that monitoring wells near the lagoons show five times the legal limit of arsenic.
