Charah Solutions Says Awarded Multiple Contracts By Long-Term Southeastern Utility Partner For Construction And Ash Pond Closure Projects

Charah(r) Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:CHRA) (the "Company"), a leading provider of mission-critical environmental services and byproduct sales to the power generation industry, today announced that it has been awarded two ash pond closure contracts and one ash pond stabilization contract by a long-term Southeastern utility partner. Work on all three of these projects started in the fall of 2021. Charah Solutions will complete basin excavation work at each site with services including site clearing, haul road construction, ash stabilization, ash excavation and ash relocation into existing lined landfill cells.

The first project's scope includes the excavation and removal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from a legacy ash pond and the delivery of the CCRs to another existing ash basin for processing. The second project's scope of work includes the construction of a haul road between two existing ash basins, site clearing work within one basin, and the establishment of a rim ditch and sump to begin the excavation and hauling of ash. The third project's scope includes ash basin stabilization so that the material can be excavated and processed in the future.

"Charah Solutions has decades of proven experience and expertise to handle every regulatory, engineering and technical issue related to pond excavation and CCR landfill management," said Scott Sewell, Charah Solutions President and CEO. "We are delighted to meet our customer's specific ash basin excavation and closure needs, paving the way for potential additional work in the future."
