It does meet the other four restrictions. Welsh coal is supposedly the best quality. Coal mining in the South Wales Coalfield was a dangerous occupation with lifelong health implications. If, at any time in the future, SWEPCO determines that an ash storage site is impacting the groundwater, we will seek public input as we develop a mitigation plan to address these impacts. and Arch. From the Lond. I'm new to 16mm coal fired live steam and was wondering what the preferred fuel for these little dragons is? Three Welsh Plant ash storage sites are included in the CCR monitoring program: All three storage sites are in active use.
