WV Public Radio carried a report today about "Waste Deep," a study of coal ash that is disposed at mine sites, produced by Earth Justice. While I believe the statistics are a little misleading, and I think they overstate the potential danger, the report is documented and worth considering. In the interest of equal time, you might want to consider visiting the American Coal Ash Association and look at their FAQs to learn more about how coal ash is reused.
And since we're on the subject of coal ash, Ken Ward, the environmental reporter for the Charleston Gazette, reports that Randy Huffman, Secretary of the WV Department of Environmental Protection, has requested a review of all coal ash impoundments in West Virginia. You can see Ken's article here.
