Coal Ashhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

There are some things the EPA knows about Coal Ash ponds in the U.S. that it is not telling. And now the Sierra Club has filed suit to force the agency to disclose that information. The environmental group claims the EPA has information about 135 sites that it refuses to share.

     The agency is starting the process of writing new regulations about coal ash storage this month...one year after the spill at the TVA Kingston power plant. The coal ash from that spill is carried by train to a commercial landfill outside Uniontown in Perry County, Alabama.
