Package Plant Success in Kentucky
Regionalization progress since 2017
- In 2017, the Kentucky Legislature asked EEC to identify measures to mitigate failing package plants.
- Between 2017 and 2023, EEC coordinated with local wastewater treatment facilities on the elimination of twenty-eight (28) failing package plants.
- The resulting wastewater improvements eliminated ~25,700 pounds per year of ammonia, and 8.9 billion colonies per day of E.coli.
