CHA was contracted by Lockheed Martin (a contractor to the United States Environmental Protection Agency) to perform site assessments of selected coal combustion surface impoundments (Project 0-381 Coal Combustion Surface Impoundments/Dam Safety Inspections). As part of this contract, CHA was assigned to perform a site assessment of Kentucky Utilities Ghent Generating Station, which is located in Ghent, Kentucky as shown on Figure 1 Project Location Map. Kentucky Utilities, a subsidiary of E.ON U.S, is owner and operator of the Ghent Generating Station. CHA made a site visit on October 7, 2009 and October 8, 2009 to inventory coal combustion surface impoundments at the Ghent facility, to perform visual observations of the containment dikes, and to collect relevant information regarding the site assessment. |
