On May 8, 2024, EPA published a list of potential legacy surface impoundments that may be subject to the CCR Legacy Rule. CIPCO’s retired Fair Station site was explicitly identified in that list as having ash ponds of unknown status.

In response, CIPCO clarifies that those ash ponds were closed by removal as of November 5, 2014. Therefore, because all solids and liquids were removed prior to October 19, 2015, there are no Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments associated with the former Fair Station site, and no further work under the CCR Legacy Rule is required regarding the former ash ponds.

Supporting documentation that further describes the closure status of the former Fair Station ash ponds is posted below.
