Purpose of the meeting
A public hearing on a draft permit from the Department of Environmental Quality regarding the Clover Power Station in Halifax. This proposed solid waste permit is to address the retrofit, continued operation, and maintenance of two sludge sedimentation basins which manage station wastewaters, including flue gas desulfurization (FGD) sludge and are therefore coal combustion residual (CCR) surface impoundments, at the Clover Power Station in Clover in Halifax County. This proposed permit was prepared in accordance with and includes requirements of the EPA Final Rule on the Disposal of CCR (EPA CCR Rule) and the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations, which incorporate the EPA CCR Rule. These basins are approximately 4 acres and are lined but will be retrofitted in accordance with the EPA CCR Rule and continue to receive wastewaters and solids. These basins are no-discharge basins and water from the basins is reused at the Station. Solids removed from the basins are disposed of in the on-site landfill. This proposed permit includes the requirements for retrofitting the basins, the EPA CCR Rule, groundwater monitoring, and clean closure of the basins by removal at the of end-of-service. The public may review the draft permit at the DEQ office named in the contact below or at the Halifax Branch Library located at 177 South Main Street, Halifax, VA 24558. Staff will be available to answer questions during an informational briefing before the public hearing from 6:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. on the evening of the public hearing. Questions and comments made during this information briefing will not be part of the official public comment record.
