AECOM was hired to perform a root cause analysis of the spill, which sent hundreds of millions of gallons of coal fly ash sliding into nearby neighborhoods.

Bill Walton, a senior principal engineer and vice president for AECOM, will announce the findings in Knoxville at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Walton is set to give a slide presentation and to answer questions.

You'll be able to watch the announcement live at 10 a.m. on wbir.com, and the results will be posted on wbir.com as soon as they're available.

"(UT prof.) Tschantz (Sp?) added: 'No matter what the findings are — it was an embarrassment.'"
"University of Tennessee professor emeritus Bruce Tschantz, an expert in hydrology and dam safety engineering, is on (a) panel, which was briefed on the report a few weeks ago."
"A panel of engineering and environmental experts formed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is waiting to review the AECOM report."
"TVA hired engineering consultants AECOM USA Inc. to study the cause."
