[2] Coal was delivered to the Chalk Point generating station by CSX Transportation trains via the Herbert Subdivision, a former Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) line.
The electrical output of Chalk Point Generating Station is dispatched by the PJM Interconnection regional transmission organization.
[6] In 2006 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that the Chalk Point plant emitted over 21 lbs/MWh of sulfur dioxide (SO2), ranked as the 24th largest such emitter in the United States.

The coal-fired units at these plants discharged arsenic and mercury to their respective receiving waters, as allowed by 1980s-era pollution standards under expired permits.
