  • What is TVA'S most recent response? Especially to their progress of cleaning this disaster up!

  • Keep after them!

  • damn this sux but I think they make a big deal about the coal dust. Doctors use coal as an absorbent in people's stomachs who've ingested poison or alcohol. This stuff is'nt as bad as they say. It's not good to breathe but only because it accumulates in the lungs but it's only dangerous if you breathe this crap all day in dust clouds for like 8 hours a day. But your lungs are able to clean the coal dust out within 24 hours,.

  • Thank you,thank you. Thanks to the folks that do the grunt work for the TWRA, and TDEC. This incident needs no exaggeration or spin to get the facts across. It only needs persistence in publishing the facts beyond the attention span of the general public. If I were reporting, I would talk to "Bubba" out on the job to get the facts. The facts get filtered and adjusted into the official news release. I'm a Bubba out on the job and speaking the truth I know.

  • Good job Donna! Keep shining the light of truth on this disaster

  • Thank you very much for making this valuble sampling information available to the rest of us. I enjoyed meeting and talking with you last Friday at Roane State Community College. My congratulations for a job very well done.

  • Thanks for being there and doing what needs to be done. Your continuing sampling work expertize is appreciated by Tennessee, the region and a national audience avidly interested that this coal ash waste disaster never never happens again.

  • This is why evil is defeated; good people are willing and capable of doing what is necessary to deal with the results of corporate irresponsibility. Thanks to Donna and all from Appalachian Voices for championing what is Right.
