Charah Solutions has a startling company record
Take a look at the companies most recent achievements
far from being a responsible partner, charah's record shows...
tons of coal ash unsafely deposited
OSHA fines paid by selected asbestos subcontractor
net financial losses reported between 2020-2021
avon lake has too much to lose
Local Ohio tradesmen and women have for generations worked long hours and sacrificed valuable family time training to keep our power plant operational and safe.
But now, Charah is turning its back and profiting off our community’s hard work and sacrifice and exploiting our city’s legacy. Charah has continued to mislead our city’s officials on local hiring,20 even given Lorain County’s unemployment rate of over 5%.21 This project could be used to put our local workers back to work, but instead, it’s an excuse for an out-of-state company to rake in absurd profits at our community’s expense.
Please join us in telling Charah Solutions that we demand respect for our city and local workers by signing our petition and showing your support.

Litigation
In North Carolina, the company failed to follow state environmental regulations regarding stormwater permits, neglected to install proper erosion-control devices before starting grading work,² and unsafely deposited 7 million tons of coal ash.3
Charah was under investigation by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality for polluting the county’s groundwater 4 as a five-year legal battle raged to try and stop them, before ultimately receiving an $80 million settlement check.
Charah then turned around and claimed this project was a great success which was completed ahead of schedule.6 This is not a company we want doing business in Avon Lake.
Charah is rushing through the dangerous asbestos abatement portion of the project and endangering our parks, our lake, our water, and our people.
This is a company that just recently had one worker die after falling into a drainage collection system at Big Rivers Electric Corporation’s Sebree Station in Kentucky.¹
safety issues
financial loss
Far from being a responsible corporate partner, Charah’s business record shows a continued record of poor financial performance 7 and recent cost overruns on delayed projects.
Communities should also question Charah’s financial capacity to complete projects as it has lost money for two years in a row and has continued losing money in 2022.
Specifically, Charah Solutions ended 2021 with a $5.8 million net loss as compared to a $54.7 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.9 Net loss increased $10.8 million, or 893.6%, to $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.10
