The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a lawsuit against Talen Energy Corporation and Brunner Island for allegedly failing to control toxic coal ash pollution risks from a storage impoundment on the banks of the Susquehanna River.
Brunner Island, a power plant in York Haven, stores larges amounts of coal-combustion residual wastes, which are toxic mixtures of heavy metals and contaminants, including the following chemicals that are harmful to both animals and people:
- Cadium
- Chromium
- Lead
- Radium
- Arsenic
