[5] AEP sold the site to Commercial Liability Partners in September 2015 to repurpose the brownfields for future redevelopment.

[8] In January 2021, the site was sold to the Southeastern Ohio Port Authority, who is continuing the repurposing and redevelopment process.

[9] Two civil trials in 2011, however, essentially rejected AEP's claims that rupture discs and a third party contractor were to blame.

The juries determined that AEP had acted with "deliberate intent"[10] toward its own employee, Drumand McLaughlin, and with "conscious disregard" for the rights of the truck driver, Lewis Timmons, who was killed.

A total of almost $13 million was assessed in damages as of August 29, 2011, including punitive damages to punish AEP subsidiaries Ohio Power Company and American Electric Power Service Corporation for their misconduct in failing to maintain the hydrogen systems.
