% of 22.4 million tons 2005 wet disposal tonnage by 158 plants = 17% % of 22.4 million tons 2005 wet disposal tonnage by 158 plants = 3%<br />
Notes:<br />
* EPA-ORCR identified the 18 plants with recent plans to convert from wet to dry CCR landfill disposal <strong>for</strong> electric utility plants operated by the Duke Energy<br />
Company, the Vectren Company, and the Hoosier Electric Cooperative, from the 24 October 2009 news report by Mark Wilson of the Courier Press “Coal Ash Disposal<br />
Varies From Company to Company.” . <strong>The</strong> Westar Energy plant was identified by an EPA-ORCR staff person based on knowledge of that specific plant or company.<br />
** EPA identified the 8 plants switching from coal from SourceWatch websites: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Coal_plant_conversion_projects<br />
and http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Existing_U.S._Coal_Plants<br />
