The two hearings (2-4pm \, and 6-8pm) are on regulations for how coal companies dispose of/handle coal ash. \n \nThese hearings were hard-won and are exceptional opportunities for Lake County citizens to have major impact both on how coal plants are permitted and how coal ash is handled – including at the Waukegan NRG coal plant. That plant has 2 coal ash ponds that are leaking into groundwater that ends up in Lake Michigan\, contaminating our drinking water. The plant also has a coal ash landfill that can also leach into groundwater. URL:https://gogreendeerfield.org/event/coal-ash-rules-session-ilepa/ LOCATION:Whittier Elementary School\, 901 N.
