Plant Yates

Plant Yates began commercial operation in 1950 in Coweta County, Georgia, and five of the seven coal-fired units were retired in 2015. The two remaining units, capable of producing 700 MW of electricity, were converted to natural gas.

Ash Pond Dewatering Plan

The company prepares and submits an ash pond dewatering plan to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division for its approval. The ash pond dewatering plan for Plant Yates was approved by EPD in September 2018. This site-specific plan identifies the enhanced water treatment system, controls and monitoring that will be used during the closure process to ensure that the water discharged is fully protective of a receiving stream's water quality.

Ash Pond Dewatering Results

Discharged water is being actively sampled in compliance with federal and state regulations. Data results will be updated as the process continues.
