What oversight is planned of cleanup efforts?
• Local, state and federal agencies responded to the coal ash release at Kingston immediately and set up an integrated recovery project organization. • The recovery project center is located on the plant site close to the ash storage area. TDEC and EPA continue to have staff at the site to carry on oversight and independent testing. • TDEC continues to sample air, soil and ash, river water, drinking water intakes and treated drinking water so that any potential areas of concern can be recognized and responded to quickly.
