As of September 2012, a group of Puerto Rican citizens said they would take AES to federal court for illegally dumping waste Guayama coal-fired power plant. Attorney Ruth Santiago sent a notice of intent to sue, also stating the list of four demands to prevent any further illegal activities by AES.
