At least 200 more are sick or dying. North Carolina has had a few spills. After the Dan River disaster, rains from Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in September 2018, caused coal ash to spill into other North Carolina rivers. Though Duke Energy, the state's largest utility, says the damage from the Hurricane Florence spill is minimal, a statement released Sept. 28, 2018, by the Upper Neuse Riverkeeper and Waterkeeper Alliance disputes that claim. An analysis by Pace Analytical not only found levels of arsenic nearly 18 times higher than the North Carolina standard for drinking water supply and fish consumption, but it also found elevated levels of lead and other heavy metals in the water. Duke Energy's Sutton Power Plant was flooded during Hurricane Florence in September 2018, triggering massive coal ash spills into the local waterways. This is not a problem limited to the Southeast. Those are active sites. There are as many as 1,100 coal ash disposal sites around the country.
