This March 20, 2014 photo made available by the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, shows a crack in an earthen dike holding back millions of gallons of coal ash and contaminated water at Duke Energy’s Cape Fear Plant in Moncure, N.C. On Friday, March 21, 2014, the state approved Duke’s emergency plan to repair the large crack. State environmental officials have issued a notice of violation against the company for illegally pumping 61 million gallons of contaminated water from a coal ash dump into the Cape Fear River. The new concerns come after a massive Feb. 2, 2014, coal ash spill at another Duke plant in Eden coated 70 miles of the Dan River in toxic gray sludge. (AP Photo/N.C.
