Act to Protect the Middle Fork Today!
Join the campaign to place a spotlight on Dynegy’s Vermilion plant, forcing a responsible closure plan for the three ash pits along the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River.
Dynegy’s Proposed Fix
Dynegy’s proposed closure plan for its three toxic coal ash pits along the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River is to cap them and leave them in place in the floodplain.
Dynegy’s Coal Ash Threat to the Middle Fork
If just 1% of Dynegy’s coal ash entered the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River, it would be comparable to the Duke Energy’s 2014 Dan River spill that sent coal ash 70 miles downstream. Don’t wait for another disaster to happen! Get involved.
