(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Power & Light continues to deal with coal ash that was stored on the property from the 1950’s through the 1970’s.  The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has issued some relatively new regulations aimed at protecting ground water.  RP&L General Manager Tony Foster talked this week about some of the new measures that will likely be taken to deal with the ash.  The area where the ash is spread will be condensed and then covered.  Then, there would be this:  "We would be digging all the way around the perimeter of the project and then doing a concrete wall that would help encapsulate the material to prevent water from escaping," Foster said.  RP&L monitors wells near the ash and posts results on its website.
