Tanners Creek Development LLC To Discuss Fly Ash Pond Closure At Virtual Meeting

IDEM approved a plan in May to cap the fly ash pond at the former Tanners Creek Power Plant site in Lawrenceburg.

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – A virtual public meeting will take place this week to discuss the closure and post-closure plans of the fly ash pond at the former Tanners Creek Power Plant site in Lawrenceburg.

Tanners Creek Development LLC will hold the virtual meeting on Thursday, August 20 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Discussion will include the closure and post-closure plans for the former Unit 4 Slag Pond and the former Bottom Ash Processing Area at the former Tanners Creek Power Plant site.

In May, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management approved Tanners Creek Development LLC’s plan to close the fly ash pond, which includes the Upper Basin and the Clear Water Pond on the property located at the south end of Shurlite Drive and west of Tanners Creek.

The FAP closure encompasses approximately 70.7 acres, which will be closed using the closure-in-place option. The plan also includes a 30-year post closure care period.

According to IDEM, the FAP closure will cost an estimated $7.1 million.

The former Tanners Creek Power Plant site has long been rumored to be the site of Indiana's 4th Port. After the fly ash pond closure plan was approved in May, State Rep. Randy Frye (R-Greensburg) said, "While I’m disappointed in how long the process is taking I’m encouraged we’re still moving forward."
