EPA's Dannena Bowman has been working hard to make their Kingston TVA website (link...) easier to use.
From the home page, she's put the photos, facts, documents, and the calendar in clickable tabs across the top of the page.
She's included before and after photos or slideshows of the progress for Dredging, Excavation, Disposal, Productivity, Nature and Extent (depth of ash in the river, covers 18 river miles), the Calendar, and others. Much of the pictures, etc. haven't been readily available 'till now.
Lisa, I would like to know how the ash depth info on the Nature and Extent tab compares with the reality in your cove.
I know there is still a long way to go to make it right, but it is heartening to see the progress, and the oversight.
Thank you all for letting the rest of the world know what's happening in Roane County, and of course for the photos of her beauty.
Respectfully,
Charlie

At first, I thought this was just the approval for test loadings to the four landfills, but discusses other options including Midtown (too long to get permit), other previously unmentioned. …also details of test loading of trucks and trains.
Here is the documentation
