Abstract:
Duke Energy will dump 12 million tons of coal ash across the street from a Sanford trailer park. Duke Energy did not have to notify residents or ask local leaders for permission to do so or conduct a study to determine potential harm to human health and the environment according to state law. Planning for the site has been underway for months by Duke Energy and many local citizens and leaders are frustrated they were not made aware or allowed to voice concerns.

Abstract:
Duke Energy has contracted with Green Meadow LLC to take possession of its coal ash. If the ash contaminates the environment at its new dump sites, Green Meadow LLC would be responsible for the mess, not Duke. If Green Meadow LLC cannot pay the fines, then the state and local residents will be responsible for cleaning up the mess. Residents of Moncure, NC, Chatham County, and Lee County are all concerned with the ethics of the deal and the site of the ash dump. The details of the proposed plan and its effects are discussed in-depth.

Abstract:
Before a brownfield, an underused or abandoned commercial or industrial site having contaminants, could be used, the site had to be totally cleaned up. Liability for the old pollution rested with the new owners. The Brownfield Property Reuse Act of 1997 removed that liability from potential developers.

Abstract:
Brownfields are underused or abandoned industrial or commercial sites having contaminants that affect potential profitability. Sites could not be used unless totally cleaned up; new owners could be held liable for any pollution problems from the old site. The Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997 is more flexible in its approach to usage and removes these restrictions from potential developers. While the law removes major impediments, dangers of contaminants may still exist.

Abstract:
Debate is taking place over a proposed hazardous waste disposal facility to be built by ThermalKEM in rural Northampton County. The residents of Woodland and the black community are split over the decision. The opposition is concerned about public health, corporate promises, and property values while the group in favor of the facility says it will bring jobs to an area with high unemployment, little tax revenue, and community services.

The group is praised for its excellent example of cooperation among residents toward a common goal. , especially between black and white citizens.
