It is noteworthy to see a power plant with a coal pile in the 2020s.
It is a rather small plant for the 21st Century.

Unit 2 is the larger structure on the left.
"Lessening the plant’s environmental footprint was a key consideration. The design included the plant’s state-of-the-art emissions reduction technologies: activated carbon injection for mercury emissions control, a urea-based selective catalytic converter for NOxcontrol, and an Allied Environmental dry fluidized bed desulfurization system with baghouse for SO2 control, acid gas emissions reduction, and particulate control....Treated municipal wastewater from the Southwest Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWTP) is used for cooling water makeup and wet flue gas desulfurization sprays, saving approximately five million gallons per day of water that would otherwise have been supplied from underground aquifers. The water is pumped from SWTP, located about a mile away, through a 20-inch-diameter pipe to the plant. Water is stored on site in a 2.7 million gallon storage tank. The water quality, especially the chloride levels, required using SeaCure condenser tubes and titanium plates in other plant heat exchangers." |

They have been tracking the disposal of their Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) since 2016. |
I'm guessing that the above is Unit 2 and below is Unit 1.
