A Conservation Note

As most of you have heard, a fly ash pond at the Kingston Steam Plant on the Emory River which dumps into Watts Bar Lake has broke loose and sent approximately 5.1 million tons of fly ash into the river system.  At this time there has been about six different reports concerning the amount of arsenic and mercury levels in the water system.  For more information look up Knoxnews and Fly Ash Spill to get the latest information and pictures.  At this time we believe it will take years to clean this up.
