Virginia approves cleanup plan for power plant site

For more than 60 years, two 25,000-gallon tanks buried underground at the coal-fired power plant on Alexandria's Potomac River have been slowly leaking heating oil into the ground and into the river's sediment. This week, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality approved the company's plan to clean up and contain the spill over the next three years, and to monitor the soil and groundwater for two years after that.
