Interim Agreement on Middle Fork Coal Ash
Interim agreement reached on protecting the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River. Environmental groups are cautiously optimistic, and will remain vigilant.
Dynegy Wants to Cap, Leave, and Run
Dynegy wants to permanently cap the coal ash, “stabilize” the abutting riverbank, wipe their hands, and pat themselves on the back for a job well done.
EJC Objects to Dynegy Permit
EJC objects to the issuance of a Section 404 permit for Dynegy’s harmful Middle Fork riverbank project, and asks for an Environmental Impact Statement.

We Can’t Stop the Middle Fork
Eventually, the Middle Fork will reoccupy that portion of the floodplain containing the ash pits. We cannot stop that from happening, no matter what we do.
