Non-Time Critical Removal Action Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (link...)
I don't see anything about restoring land to previous use.
And it looks like TVA thinks they are 2/3rds of the way home.
By the way, TVA thinks the LTRC has the power to set priorities.
Don't let TVA get away with this!

Do you ever wonder what all that Alphabet soup in the EPA OSC reports (link...) means?
EPA OSC CIC START ROC USACE ERT?

I still don't know exactly what a "Regional Oversight Contract" is, but apparently, it is some kind of ongoing contract with oversight from EPA Region 4

July 18 Norfolk-Southern Derailment at Kingston Fossil Plant (link...)
July 19, 2009:
"Yesterday evening, four cars of a train carrying ash from the Kingston site derailed as the train was switching tracks at the Kingston Fossil Plant. The railcars remained upright, and no ash was released. The cars have been lifted back onto undamaged track. Approximately 200 to 300 feet of rail tracks were damaged and are being repaired. No ash will be transported from the site Sunday, July 19, while TVA and its partner, Norfolk-Southern complete the repairs and investigate the cause of the derailment."
"Contractor can't determine structural stability of TVA coal waste facilities." (link...)
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.
