Site description

Montana-Dakota Utilities’ Lewis & Clark Station was in Sidney, Montana along the banks of the Yellowstone River in Richland County. Plant Lewis and Clark began operations in 1958 with one coal-fired unit, with a capacity of 50-MW, which was retired in 2021. This station had a Scrubber Pond and Temporary Storage Area for its coal ash residuals, which are regulated under the CCR rule.
