REMARKS BY TOM KILGORE AT TVA BOARD MEETING (link...)

Although I have only read the first half of it, this is very poignant reading…
A REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY REGARDING KINGSTON FACTUAL FINDINGS (link...)
…addresses management issues, lack of training, fragmented responsibilities, priorities production vs. safety, etc.

TVA Can't just do what they want. When the EPA rolled back into town, they found, they couldn't just leave the ash in the Swan Pond embayment.
The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is YOUR path to addressing what is done with the houses. The future use of the land and residences is already in the plan. YOU have until TOMORROW 20 July 2009 to respond. I'm attaching a computer readable copy of the CAP. I haven't finished cleaning it up but together with the TDEC .pdf you should be able to figure out what's going on. Get busy TODAY if you want to have a say.
Respectfully,
Charlie

The good news is that they are training the ash pond inspectors…

By the way… What's up? TVA daily status is days behind. TVA status report isn't posted on Leo's website. TDEC posted the "TVA Corrective Action Plan", but I don't see any comment on it anywhere, not in the press. This kind to quiet normally happens when people are busy or precedes some major announcement.
