Prince William County is lawyering up for a potential fight against Virginia Dominion Power’s controversial plan to treat and flush more than 200 million gallons of toxic coal-ash water into Quantico Creek.
Dominion Virginia Power was given a green light this morning to begin de-watering toxic ash ponds near Quantico.

The installation of a new aircraft will mean the closure of the National Museum of the Marine Corps starting Monday.

A deadline for public comments on a plan to treat and release toxic water into the Potomac River has come and gone.
