Fly Ash Success Story

Thanks to a unique agreement among Virginia Power, York County, and the Environmental Protection Agency, softball teams today shag fly balls, and soccer players score goals on a "Superfund" site where fly ash and petroleum coke once polluted well water. The $10 million change from waste site to recreational parks occurred in 1991 with the dedication of 2 softball fields at Chisman Creek Park. Four youth soccer fields, known as Wolf Trap Park, were opened in the spring of 1992.
