Charah Solutions awarded contracts by three Southeast utility companies

Louisville, Kentucky-based Charah Solutions Inc., a provider of environmental services and byproduct recycling to the power generation industry, has announced it has been awarded two remediation and compliance services contracts and one byproduct services contact from three different utility partners throughout the Southeast.  

Charah Solutions’ ash pond management services contract in Louisiana includes the dewatering, excavation and removal of about 400,000 tons of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from two legacy ash basins and the delivery and disposal of the CCRs to the station’s existing on-site lined landfill.   

Additionally, the company’s ash pond management services contract in Arkansas includes the closure by removal of a retiring pond. This project involves the excavation of nearly 690,000 cubic yards of CCR from the ash and coal yard runoff pond. It also includes excavating more than 60,000 cubic yards of the underlying soil. Excavated and dredged materials will be placed in an on-site lined landfill, while the excavated bottom ash segregated portions ultimately will be marketed and sold as a raw material to the Portland cement production industry.   

The company’s long-term landfill operations contract in Arkansas for byproduct services includes CCR material loading, transportation, placement and compaction in an existing on-site lined landfill. Charah Solutions will manage and transport conditioned fly ash, bottom ash, spray dryer absorber reactor ash and filter cake for about 1.7 million tons of CCR materials over the life of the contract.   

“We are delighted to be awarded these multiple projects from three different utility partners to meet their specific remediation and compliance and byproduct service needs, ensuring a well-managed and compliant program from start to finish,” says Scott Sewell, Charah Solutions president and CEO.
