Muskingum
Project Description
The Muskingum River Power Plant was a former coal-fired electric power generating station located near Beverly, Ohio. Redevelopment plans for this 1,500-acre site included industrial, recreational, and a wildlife habitat and preserve. Major elements of the project include the closure of over 200 acres of coal ash impoundments, beneficial re-use of bottom ash, and ongoing groundwater monitoring program.
Activities Performed
KEY initiated redevelopment efforts by preparing a scope of work for all environmental activities site-wide. These activities included the development and implementation of a closure plan to address all 1,500 acres of the site, a groundwater monitoring program plan, and preparation of PTI submissions for the upper and lower reservoirs. KEY also developed and co-patented an innovative approach to closing the upper reservoir utilizing a sustainable habitat design that was approved by Ohio EPA. KEY's activities include:
Patented Design Alternative utilizing Sustainable Habitat Cover System for upper fly ash reservoir
Upper and lower fly ash reservoir closure designs and permitting
Oversight and certification of traditional cap for 40 acre middle reservoir
Dam permit compliance
Inspection and preparation of annual dam inspection reports
Closure coordination with demolition activities
NPDES and groundwater monitoring and reporting
