Jacobs Engineering Settles Kingston Coal Ash Case

[Marlin]

I am semi-retired and one of the short jobs I did was the removal of pond sediments from a facility designed to store them until semi-volatiles met release limits. Many of the workers had also worked on this coal ash cleanup. They were not a trusting lot, looking over my shoulder as I sampled and analyzed for radiological and chemical contaminants. They would bring me intake filters from equipment used in the facility to monitor as they did not trust the people who had done the monitoring at the coal ash spill. Seemed satisfied as they watched me monitor them. Initially in the coal ash spill only arsenic and silica were listed as hazardous material, but later Duke university sampling showed the waste contained radioactive material at levels three to five times higher than reported by TVA to the public, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Tennessee Department of Health. They did not lynch me, so I guess I did OK. I hope this gives them some closure.
