Altamaha Riverkeeper worked with six local, state, and national
citizens groups to appeal state water withdrawal and discharge permits
for the proposed Plant Washington coal plant. The 850 megawatt coal
plant is a project of Power4Georgians, a company organized
by Cobb Electrical Membership Corporation (EMC) and four other EMCs.
The coal plant will be located in the Ogeechee basin at Sandersville, but
the water to run it will be piped from and discharged to the Oconee
River. ARK thanks our attorneys at Greenlaw and Southern Environmental
Law Center and our fellow citizens groups for their extensive efforts
in filing this appeal.
