I found a second view to confirm that the four old smokestacks were replaced by one smokestack.

| Ron Gratton posted M Stuart Station Ohio - did a boiler inspection in 2015 Tim Sullivan: Nastiest plant I every worked in. Last time I worked there was 1983. Still positive pressure super critical boilers back then. Most of the time you couldn’t see from one end of the turbine deck to the other due to flue gas and fly ash. Ron Gratton: Tim Sullivan it wasn't that bad when I was there, but would qualify as one of the worst kept I've been in. Gordon Jones: Tim Sullivan It improved 100% once they installed ID fans….it was nasty in 70s and 80s. Tim Giannetti: I worked out back on the Scrubber job hooked up all the Ducts shipped in off the river on barges. |

| Gordon Jones posted JM Stuart on Ohio River. Four 630MW Units, supercritical once through boilers, 3600psi, 1005 deg F steam…DECOMMISSIONED! [There are some comments about supercritical plants in the USA.] |
Unit 1 was retired because an explosion in Jan 2017 wrecked it. The Sierra Club is responsible for the other three units (and Killen) being shutdown on Jun 1, 2018. The explosion caused six injuries. [gem]

| 1:27 WCPO 9 video @ 1:13 "Far left of screen are Unit 1 condensor bay doors, or where they used to be. Also a large hole in wall 20 by 40 feet partially visible above East Maintenance Pod. (1.13) Center of screen, west wall of east unloading bay blew off, hanging by a thread. Wall above rollup door is gone. This was a 2400 Megawatt plant (4 units, 600 Megawatts each). The damage inside the plant is unbelievable and Unit 1 is gone forever. The explosion was on Unit 1, second floor and blew a 15 x 30 foot hole through 10 inches of concrete up through the third floor." |
Were the old smokestacks being used or is that debris from the explosion that is coming out of the old stacks?

Tommy Dixon: Is all that damage from demolition?
Gordon Jones: Tommy Dixon yep

I saved a satellite image to catch all of the barge traffic. Note that a railroad doesn't serve this plant.

| DaytonDailyNews The plant was sold to a developer, Kingfisher Development, in Jan 2020. |
It appears that a lot of dirt has to be moved to clean up a coal plant site. This is just one of several photos showing some excavation work.
 |
| capexel News reports spell the developer as Kingfisher, but CAPEXL, which owns the company, spells it as "King Fisher." |

| envlaw "Unlike in Michigan, generating plants in Ohio do not receive guaranteed recovery from ratepayers of their fixed capital and operating costs - instead, they compete for energy and capacity revenues on the market. As a result, many older coal-fired plants have negative free cash flows of millions of dollars. This was the case with Stuart and Killen, which we believe contributed to DP&L's financial difficulties." |

| Jim Adams posted JM Stuart Station. Aberdeen, Ohio Jerry Harmon: So sad to see the sunsetting on the plant I worked at for nearly 43 years. Soon it will only be a memory as it's being torn down. Made a lot of friends there and I hope they are all doing well. Unfortunately many good people that worked there have passed on that I was fortunate enough to have made their acquaintance. Rest in peace brothers and sisters. |
12 drone photos after they blew up the stacks
1:05 video of the energetic felling of the smokestacks.
 |
| Chas Workman comment on the 1:04 video: it was a controlled fall But there is a lot of disagreement. A comment on the original video said the scrubber stack was scheduled for demo next spring. |
0:41 video, I do wish people would learn to turn their phones to a landscape view.
0:47 video, from the side so a profile view is appropriate
