QUOTE The City Council is asking NIPSCO to remove all coal ash from the Michigan City Generating Station site when the plant closes in or before 2028. The council unanimously passed a resolution to that effect recently, saying removal is preferable to placing a cap on coal ash that has accumulated at the century-old coal-fired power plant. “This is all about protecting drinking water here in Michigan City,” said Councilman Bryant Dabney, D-1st, a cosponsor of the resolution. Resident Joe Sherman commended Councilwoman Dalia Zygas, D-At-Large, for introducing the resolution. He lives near the plant, but said it’s vital to all people who enjoy walking the beach and who drink water from Lake Michigan. Sherman, who praised NIPSCO for shifting toward clean energy sources, said while he wished the resolution had some teeth to it, the council is at least opening dialogue with NIPSCO on the issue. Resident Ernie Halloran said if the coal ash is to be transported to Wheatfield, where NIPSCO’s Schahfer Generating Station will be converted to a natural gas-fired plant, how will the toxic waste be transported? |
