- 1. Giant Toxic Coal Ash Spill Threatens Animals Rank: 75%
- Spill Threatens Animals It's been called the Exxon Valdez of coal ash--a wakeup call for a fossil fuel industry. But the recent toxic ash spill in Tennessee is greater in scope than the 1989 oil spill, and despite what some conservationists are calling very real threats, the ash disaster has so far inspired apparently little concern for local wildlife. On December 22 a billion gallons of poisonous sludge--largely coal ash, a byproduct of coal burning--broke through an earthen dike at the...

- Utilities Billions in Rules U.S. power companies may face billions of dollars a year in new costs after last week's coal- sludge spill in east Tennessee if the accident results in regulating their wastes as toxic. The accident that unleashed a billion-gallon outpouring from a Tennessee Valley Authority power plant on Dec. 22 may revive efforts in Washington to tighten rules on so-called fly ash that's laden with heavy metals, and other waste from coal- fired generators. The proposals stalled...

- 3. Coal-Ash Spill: Unclean Coal's Consequences Rank: 75%
- Unclean Coal's Consequences For years, environmentalists have called for safer disposal of coal ash, a by-product of coal-fired electrical generation. Late last month, a massive spill of the substance demonstrated - in hideous, gray detail - what happens when warnings go ignored too long. The scope of the disaster near Kingston, Tenn. - a city that "overflows with nature's beauty," as its Web site proclaims - is still being assessed, but serious trouble has been documented already. Reports...

- Tennessee, some see potential for trouble at Buck Steam Station Duke Energy's Buck Steam Station has three coal ash ponds that are similar to the one that ruptured Dec. 22 in eastern Tennessee. Are impoundments at Buck, which cover some 119 acres, a ticking time bomb of toxic waste? Duke Energy says the company's coal ash ponds systemwide have passed annual and five-year inspections and are in compliance with all existing laws and regulations. "All ash basin inspections to date have been...

- revives issue of its hazards What may be the nation`s largest spill of coal ash lay thick and largely untouched over hundreds of acres of land and waterways Wednesday after a dam broke this week, as officials and environmentalists argued over its potential toxicity. Federal studies have long shown coal ash to contain significant quantities of heavy metals like arsenic, lead and selenium, which can cause cancer and neurological problems. But with no official word on the dangers of the sludge in...

- spill highlights broad gaps in government oversight Last week's collapse of a coal-ash dam in Tennessee revealed nationwide gaps in how the government oversees construction of power plant impoundments and how regulators watch over the country's largest source of industrial waste, environmental groups and safety experts say. Despite years of study - and prodding by the National Academy of Sciences and Congress - there are no federal standards for coal-ash waste disposal or dam construction....
