Request to appear from Therese Vick on behalf of Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League. Therese Vick appeared on behalf of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League as a member of the Lee County Chapter known as EnvironmentaLee. The organization had a consultant look at the site studies for the proposed coal ash site at Colon. She shared the findings from the report with the Board and provided an update on coal ash. On June 21, 2019 DEQ directed CHARA to submit a ground and surface water plan. A consultant reviewed the Chatham County Brick Haven site. After problems were identified at the Chatham County site, BREDL asked the consultant to review the Lee County site. They are still in litigation with DEQ regarding the issuance of the permit at the Chatham County site. CHARA, according to the Rant, is having some financial challenges. BREDL has tried to get information regarding CHARA's intent related to the site. The current permit is valid until 2025. There is a review next year, which is required by state law. They have a permit to construct and a permit to operate until 2025. The consultant's report looked at the site and in his opinion the largest concern was the lack of a full geologic assessment of the site prior to the issuance of the permit. The site would need to do shallow and deep monitoring wells, while currently they only do shallow monitoring, to pick up contamination to prevent a release. Without this, a release could occur without detection by the monitoring well network. DEQ has asked for a groundwater assessment work plan which has been completed. The facility is currently permitted for a structural fill benefited reuse. Jay Holly was the consultant that performed the work on behalf of BREDL. No action was taken. Page 418
