The state Department of Environmental Quality on Monday ordered Duke Energy to excavate all remaining coal ash ponds in North Carolina and move the toxic ash to lined landfills.

DEQ officials said they reached the conclusion that digging up and removing the ash was the only option to "best protect public health" after reviewing Duke's proposals for the sites and meeting with affected communities.
