Kingston Ash Slide Case study. On December 22, 2008. When a dike failed at Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Kingston Fossil Plant, millions of cubic yards of coal ash cascaded into the Emory and Clinch rivers and covered numerous acres of land. A slow-moving wave of toxic sludge polluted the river water. The spill prompted TVA and other utilities across the nation to re-evaluate how they store coal ash, a byproduct from burning coal to produce electricity. Congress held hearings in the aftermath. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed new rules regulating coal ash, including classifying it as a hazardous material. Unfortunately, 5 years later, coal ash remains largely unregulated. The EPA and Congress have not yet acted to strengthen oversight of the material. Industry groups and some lawmakers continue to oppose classifying coal ash as hazardous.
The questions are:
How do we think that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should proceed with regulating coal ash?
Who are the major stakeholders that need to be involved in regulating coal ash?
Do new policies need to be written and implemented related to the management of coal ash?
If we believe new polices should be written, what policies do we propose and why? If we do not believe new policies should be written, why not?
