RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Federal environmental officials said Thursday that they have reached a deal with Duke Energy to clean up its mess from a massive coal ash spill into the Dan River that coated 70 miles of the waterway in North Carolina and Virginia with toxic gray sludge.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it had finalized an enforceable agreement with the nation’s largest electricity company over the Feb. 2 spill that was triggered when a pipe collapsed at Duke’s Dan River Steam Station.
