Joppa ranked 75th on list of most polluting power plants in terms of coal waste
In January 2009, Sue Sturgis of the Institute of Southern Studies compiled a list of the 100 most polluting coal plants in the United States in terms of coal combustion waste (CCW) stored in surface impoundments like the one involved in the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant coal ash spill.[1] The data came from the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) for 2006, the most recent year available.[2]
Joppa Steam Plant ranked number 75 on the list, with 366,675 pounds of coal combustion waste released to surface impoundments in 2006.[1]
