Colorado regulators are reviewing Xcel Energy’s final plan to clean up groundwater contamination caused by decades of coal ash disposal at the Valmont Power Station. The project, which could begin construction as early as late summer, comes after contamination migrated beyond Xcel’s property and was detected in at least one nearby private well. The proposed system would pump contaminated groundwater from beneath the site and transport it for treatment, a first-of-its-kind project in Colorado. But environmental advocates say the cleanup may fall short if a second coal ash landfill near the powe

Lawyers still cited it. Lower courts still had to account for it. Yet the governing center of gravity had shifted. When the court later said in 2022’s *Kennedy v.
