On Feb 3, 2014, Duke Energy said 50,000 to 82,000 tons of coal ash and up to 27 million gallons of water were released from a pond at its retired [[Dan River Steam Station]] into the Dan River, and were still flowing. A 48-inch stormwater pipe beneath Duke's unlined ash pond broke, and water and ash from the 27-acre pond drained into the pipe.<ref>[http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/02/03/4661193/duke-energy-plant-reports-coal.html#.UvE0qvYntXi#storylink=cpy "Duke Energy plant reports coal-ash spill,"] www.charlotteobserver.com, Feb 3, 2014.</ref>
