Abstract:
In February of 2014, a pipe at Duke Energy's retired Eden coal plant ruptured into the Dan River, polluting the water with toxic coal ash, arsenic, and cadmium. The company originally faced a fine of $25 million, but recently the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) privately negotiated with Duke Energy and cut the fine to $7 million.
