Doh!
Coal ash spill into NC river still not contained
Not as bad as this one
Double Doh!
Why do they have such a problem with these in the south?
I've worked at enough plants that the ash pond would be the last thing I'd worry about. One plant sold their fly-ash to make high grade concrete. Mix fly ash in instead of sand and the ash makes dense concrete that is harder and more resistant to salt, chemicals, and cracking.
