State regulators are joining with Duke Energy in appealing a judge’s ruling on cleaning up groundwater pollution from the company’s coal ash dumps. The state Environmental Management Commission filed notice on Monday that it would appeal a March 6 ruling by a superior court judge, Paul Ridgeway. The commission and Duke contend that state law does not give the state the authority to order an immediate cleanup. Judge Ridgeway ruled the commission appointed by Gov. Pat McCrory and Republican legislative leaders had been misinterpreting the law for years. Mr. McCrory, a Republican, worked for Duke more than 28 years before retiring and running for governor.
