Yet --- you roasted marshmallows over charcoal briquets and ate more fly ash than
a person living close to a power plant..
Your response above was desparate posturing Oroman.. Snarky deflections -- not much else.
For instance..
I can name MANY lakes and rivers in Kentucky where discharges ARE KNOWN, ARE MONITORED, and for which recreational uses have not been curtailed..
Evidently --- EVERYONE but you knows this.. And it's ALLOWED, because Fish/Game, and state fed enviro monitors are WATCHING the waterways for evidence of toxins ABOVE current limits..
That's the way it's done. We don't close down EVERY industrial activity in this country BECAUSE there MIGHT be minute quantities of toxins generated in the process..
Go light up the grill and try to keep the ashes off your tube steaks..

Not in the state of Kentucky, and I don't know what state does allow it. Do you?

LOUISVILLE, KY -- Today, a coalition of environmental and clean water groups, including the Sierra Club, released a new report demonstrating the importance of strong U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards that limit toxic water pollution from coal plants for Kentucky. The report, “Closing the Floodgates: How the Coal Industry Is Poisoning Our Water and How We Can Stop It,” reviewed water permits for 386 coal plants across the country, and sought to identify whether states have upheld the Clean Water Act by effectively protecting families from toxic water pollution.
