Interesting Information Regarding drinking water in Kentucky:Coal combustion waste is a serious problem throughout the United States, and Kentucky is no exception. Every day in Kentucky, landfills and ponds leak into our groundwater and rivers, seeping out a slow-motion flood of contamination. Each year, coal plants across the country produce over 130 million tons of waste, filled with hazardous chemicals, including arsenic, boron, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and thallium. Chemicals that leach from Coal combustion waste in landfills or ponds can cause organ damage and cancer and many are connected with brain damage in children. Since the federal Environmental Protection Agency does not yet regulate coal combustion waste, power companies are free to dispose of their waste how, and where, they like. This practice has damaged the water of hundreds of communities. Kentucky has 44 ash ponds, all of the sites for which data were available have groundwater contamination from coal combustion waste and, the contamination is getting worse.
