Plant Bowen began commercial operation in 1975 in Bartow County, Georgia. The four coal-fired units are capable of producing 3,376 MW of electricity.
Ash Pond Dewatering Plan
The company prepares and submits an ash pond dewatering plan to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division for its approval. 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.
