Health Risks from Unplanned-for Continued Operations of Merom Generating Station, Sullivan County, Indiana Hallador Power Co., LLC Ongoing Air, Water, and Solid Waste Violations
Environmental organizations are urging the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) to intensify enforcement at the Merom Generating Station in Sullivan County. Originally slated for retirement in 2023, the coal-fired plant was sold to Hallador Power Co., LLC and is now expected to operate indefinitely, partly to meet the high energy demands of a cryptocurrency mining operation run by AboutBit, LLC. The letter details a history of permit violations, including illegal levels of ammonia and iron in wastewater, excessive air opacity, and groundwater contamination from coal ash landfills. The authors argue that the plant's continued operation poses significant health risks and call for stricter monitoring, compliance plans, and fines.
