She also found that the county had acted properly in the matter.C. Gregory Fifer, an attorney who represented the company, declined to comment, as did David Nachand, who represented the county.The proposal has been in dispute and disarray since the company proposed to burn hazardous waste in 2014, with the county at first allowing the practice under local zoning laws and later reversing itself after substantial public pressure from people concerned about their health and safety reminded public officials of an old ordinance that was still on the books.The Courier-Journal reported in 1993 that Clark County commissioners banned the burning of hazardous waste within a mile of homes or businesses – excluding nearly all of the county. The plant, located in Speed, is closer than that to homes and businesses.More from the CJ: Don't let Rubbertown chemical plant off the hook, crowd saysRead this: Bank didn't want to take down 'stately tree,' executive saysAt the hearing last year, Fifer called the ordinance a "sham."

The company based in Charlotte delivers electricity to 7.5 million customers in the Carolinas, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Florida. It already persuaded South Carolina’s utilities commission in December to allow it to start recouping coal ash cleanup costs as part of a $56 million rate increase that includes a 10 percent potential profit margin.Gurley is one of about three dozen people living near coal-burning plants who filed comments with the state at the urging of their lawyers.“We think this is not a proper cost to pass along to the general public,” said their attorney, John Hughes.Duke Energy was forced to address its coal-ash storage in response to new federal regulations and a 2014 accident in which waste from a pit at a North Carolina plant ruptured, coating miles of the Dan River in gray sludge. The Charlotte-based company pleaded guilty in 2015 to nine criminal violations of the federal Clean Water Act for pollution at five coal-fired plants including Goldsboro. It agreed to pay $102 million in fines and compensation.CONTRIBUTORRELATED ARTICLES... (People's World)
