The Northern Plains Resource Council released their plan to clean up Colstrip ash pond complex. KULR8’s Spencer Martin broke down their proposal to clean up the plan and the results from their job research study.

Northern Plains says at over 800 acres, the Colstrip power plant ash pond complex is one of the largest in the nation, and their research shows that cleaning up of those ponds, can be a massive job creator.

Northern Plains Resource Council is proposing what they call a “high and dry” plan which would store coal ash in a dry location high above the aquifer.
