Health cost of the 202(c) orders
Every figure below is for one year of this plant running — not a total for its lifetime, and not tied to how long the 202(c) orders last. They are what one more year of operation costs the people living downwind of J H Campbell.
$400.1M–$680.4M
Health damages
In 2023 dollars.
Figures are rounded for readability; exact modelled values are shown below. See the full methodology here.
Source: EDF ran EPA’s CO-Benefits Risk Assessment (COBRA) screening model on this plant. COBRA is a screening tool, not a full air-quality model: it works at the county level and covers health impacts from fine particles and ozone only — it does not estimate health harms from mercury or other air toxics.
