Haven't gotten to this thing in a couple days, but there's a lot going on with the TVA, especially yesterday, when the state ordered the utility to reimburse the TDEC for clean-up and site evaluation efforts at the Kingston plant.
From the News Sentinel:
Under a state environmental enforcement order issued Tuesday, the Tennessee Valley Authority will have to foot the bill for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation's response to the massive fly ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant and submit a formal cleanup plan for state approval.
Reimbursement to TDEC would come on top of the $1 million a day TVA officials say they are spending on the cleanup effort.
Also, it looks like TVA may be facing some serious charges after the release of gross-looking sediment from a dam into the Ocoee.
And, finally, TVA has been ordered by a federal judge to install pollution controls into four coal-burning plants in East Tennessee and one in north Alabama.
