Consumers moves ahead with plans to build coal ash plant near Holland
Consumers Energy is moving forward with plans to store and process waste left behind by the coal-fired J.H. Campbell Generating Complex , the company's last remaining coal plant, which it is operating past its planned closure date because of a series of controversial emergency orders issued by President Donald Trump's administration. Ashcor USA Inc., a division of Canadian energy and engineering giant ATCO, plans to build a coal ash processing facility at the site of the West Olive Township coal plant in early 2028. The facility would turn millions of tons of Campbell's waste ash into a cement substitute to be used in concrete production and would be Michigan's first coal ash processing plant. Ashcor asked the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy for approval of an air quality permit that would allow the ash processing plant to release pollution such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. The public comment period for the permits was to close Oct. 29. Consumers also is awaiting federal approval to build a pair of deep injection wells to store liquid waste deep below ground. The wells also would be on the coal plant site, about a mile from Lake Michigan,
