An estimated 5.4 million cubic yards of sludge burst from a failed retention pond at a TVA Kingston fossil plant near Harriman, Tenn. in the early morning of Dec. 22, 2008. The aftermath of the spill has forever left an impact on the neighboring Swan Pond community.

The online team at knoxnews.com has produced a video documentary exploring the impact on this community. Also, read ongoing coverage of the TVA coal ash spill: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/news/state/tva-pond-breach-roane-county/

  • Residents of Swan Pond are still getting the "run around" -I just saw the video by the local citizens indicating lack of interest by the politicians on the environmental disaster! Help them get it to governors attention-He has the authority to do something about this Tennessee Comunity-Ron Noonan

  • Wow. Like we needed any more environment loss. Thanks TVA. -.-

  • I live around there it was really scary when that happened
