North Carolina regulators said Friday, March 21, 2014, that they have asked a judge to withdraw a proposed settlement that would have allowed Duke Energy to resolve environmental violations by paying a $99,000 fine with no requirement that the $50 billion company clean up its pollution.

This March 20, 2014 photo made available by the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, shows a crack in an earthen dike holding back millions of gallons of coal ash and contaminated water at Duke Energy’s Cape Fear Plant in Moncure, N.C. On Friday, March 21, 2014, the state approved Duke’s emergency plan to repair the large crack. State environmental officials have issued a notice of violation against the company for illegally pumping 61 million gallons of contaminated water from a coal ash dump into the Cape Fear River. The new concerns come after a massive Feb. 2, 2014, coal ash spill at another Duke plant in Eden coated 70 miles of the Dan River in toxic gray sludge. (AP Photo/N.C.

Documents and interviews collected by The Associated Press show how Duke’s lobbyists prodded Republican legislators to tuck a 330-word provision in a regulatory reform bill running nearly 60 single-spaced pages. Though the bill never once mentions coal ash, the change allowed Duke to avoid any costly cleanup of contaminated groundwater leaching from its unlined dumps toward rivers, lakes and the drinking wells of nearby homeowners.
