Southern Environmental Law Center Program on Coal
Ash Disposal – Tuesday, November 29
In a program to be held at 7 p.m. November 29 in the Oak
Ridge Civic Center Craft Room, Amanda Garcia, will
discuss the Southern Environmental Law Center’s current
work on coal ash issues. Ms. Garcia is a staff attorney in
the Nashville office of SELC, where she focuses on energy
policy in Tennessee.
The Bull Run Fossil Plant sits at the confluence of the
Clinch River and Bull Run Creek, with the drinking water
intake for the West Knox Utility District just over a quarter-
mile downstream from several of its ash pits. In her
presentation, Garcia will discuss TVA’s plans for closing
ash ponds at Bull Run, the pollution and risk involved, the
role of the Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation in reviewing TVA’s plans and addressing
the pollution at Bull Run and other sites, and opportunities
for the public to weigh in.
