OVERVIEW
ATON was involved in reviewing a variety of historic environmental documentation, conducted additional environmental investigations prior to the purchase by CLP. Upon purchase, ATON will begin the oversight of the ash pond closures, ongoing water treatment and NPDES compliance, groundwater monitoring and reporting.
