State regulators in North Carolina on Friday said Duke Energy Corp violated environmental laws and could face quotidian fines after a massive spill of toxic coal ash this month contaminated water and wildlife in the Dan River. The state's Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR), which has been criticized by green groups and faces a federal government criminal probe over its handling of the decommissioned Eden plant's spill, issued two notices of wastewater and stormwater violations. "These are violations of state and federal law, and we are holding the utility accountable," said DENR Secretary John Skvarla. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
