Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) issued a document entitled:
Coal Combustion Residuals Recycling/Beneficial Use Assessment Business Plan (“Plan”)
The Plan is stated to include an analysis of:
. . . viable options for recycling of the ponded ash, recycled/beneficiated product market demand, quantity of CCR that can be recycled/beneficiated, and related costs.
Coal combustion residuals (also referred to as coal ash, fly ash, or bottom ash) is typically created when coal is combusted by power plants to produce electricity.
Dominion states that it requested proposals from qualified bidders to conduct recycling or beneficial use projects or coal combustion residuals in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The objective of the Request for Proposals was stated to provide the following information:
-
Viable options for recycling of the ponded ash
-
The quantity of CCR that may be suitable for recycling or beneficial use, including but not limited to encapsulated beneficial uses such as bricks or concrete
-
The cost of recycling or beneficial use
-
The potential market demand for material recycled or beneficially used
