Duke Energy pleads guilty to Clean Water Act violations including Eden spill site

Duke Energy pleads guilty to Clean Water Act violations including Eden spill site 2015
Eden
On May 14, 2015, Duke Energy pleaded guilty to nine Clean Water Act violations at five North Carolina power plants, including the Dan River plant in Eden, and agreed to pay $102 million.
The plea came in federal court in Greenville, where Judge Malcolm Howard said the fine was the largest federal criminal fine in North Carolina history. Duke agreed to $68 million in fines and $34 million for environmental projects, with five years of probation. The plants named were Eden, Moncure, Asheville, Goldsboro and Mount Holly. The case grew out of the 2014 Dan River coal ash spill.
