Dominion Virginia Power was given a green light this morning to begin de-watering toxic ash ponds near Quantico.

Virginia’s Water Control Board will meet at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Richmond to review a permit to allow plant owner Dominion Virginia Power to treat and release from coal ash ponds into the river, and Quantico Creek.
