The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently
holding several public hearings across the country on its proposal to
regulate the handling of coal ash. But despite the catastrophic spill in
December 2008 near Kingston, Tenn., and a request from U.S. Sen. Lamar
Alexander, R-Tenn., to hold a public hearing in Roane County, the EPA
will not be holding any public forums in Tennessee.
Nearly two years ago, almost one billion pounds of coal ash spilled from
a containment area at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil
Plant, inundating nearby land and waterways in the Kingston area.
