Summary:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reached a settlement with Greenidge Generation LLC, an electrical generating plant in New York, to address compliance issues with coal ash regulations. The settlement requires Greenidge to address groundwater monitoring issues, ensure proper closure of a coal ash surface impoundment, and pay a fine of $105,000. The EPA alleges that Greenidge failed to comply with certain groundwater monitoring system requirements, prepare annual reports, and implement a closure plan for the coal ash impoundment. The settlement aims to protect the environment and drinking water systems, particularly in overburdened communities, from the harmful effects of coal ash contamination.
