Coal-fired power plants are poisoning our rivers, lakes and streams with coal ash, a waste product that contains arsenic, mercury, and lead. Coal ash poisons fish, making them unsafe to eat. For decades, power plants have carelessly dumped coal ash into ponds and landfills that leak into our rivers and streams. It's time for the EPA to set strong safeguards that classify coal ash as hazardous waste—because that's exactly what it is.

Of all places in the world, why did my family have to move to Waterflow? All I'm ever gonna do is worry that we'll all die here. I'm determined to move away on my own just to get out of this place. I can see these coal factories from where I live. On both sides of our house in the distance. The smoke constantly bellowing into the air. And I smelled the oddest odor in the air last night. Like some sort of burning plastic. No matter how they say they're cleaning up their act, I'll never trust it.
