Most of us remember the TVA coal ash spill that occurred in Kingston nearly one year ago. The accident released 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash into the Emory River and contaminated 300 acres of nearby land. Homes were destroyed as well. Recently TVA invited reporters to monitor the massive clean up effort now underway. Nearly 500 workers and over 150 pieces of large equipment busily work to undo the damage caused by the spill. Each day the operation removes between 85 and 100 train car loads of recovered waste. The on-site EPA coordinator is so far pleased with the progress:
“I would give them a rating of good,” Francendese told reporters. “I’m kind of a taskmaster, so I wouldn’t give them an excellent, but I am pleased that the rate has gone from 2,500 cubic yards (of coal ash) a day to 15,000 cubic yards.”
Francendese said the goal is to finish the cleanup of coal ash from the Emory River by spring 2010. Then, operations would shift to cleaning up coal ash from land, which will probably take three to four years, he said.
Steve McCracken, TVA general manager for the Kingston cleanup, said TVA is on track to meet those goals.
“By spring 2010 we should be finished with the Emory River, and then we will start with the Swan Pond area,” he said. “We intend to clean up the Swan Pond embayment to the way it was before.”

This incident is a perfect example of how sometimes accidents just find us. Thankfully the clean up effort is going successfully and we can only hope that the people affected can be compensated in a fair manner.

We have a wonderful state. So it’s not too surprising to hear Tennessee residents are among the happiest in the country. According to a new study done by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Tennessee residents land in the top 5. The study was done over a 4-year period and involved 1.3 million people from all 50 states. What are the main factors to the happiness factor? Apparently states that offer beautiful surroundings, lots of sunshine, and a high quality of life tend to rank much higher than states that don’t. The study, detailed in the Knoxville News Sentinel, explains why other states such as California and New York, rank so low in the happiness ratings:
At the other end of the scale – last in happiness – is New York state.
As if to illustrate the problem, residents attending a meeting Wednesday in rural Queensbury unleashed their anger and cynicism at a state government they described as corrupt, self-dealing and too quick to increase taxes. It was a tirade that had one lifelong resident saying he was ready to flee “this stinkin’ state.”
Oswald suggested the long commutes, congestion and high prices around New York City account for some of the unhappiness.
Tennessee really is a great state and it’s easy to see why we are relatively happier compared with other states.
