First there were the environmental justice concerns regarding the landfill site in Alabama.

Then the landfill operator filed for bankruptcy, claiming the Knoxville-based contractor handling the TVA disposal operation had been withholding TVA payments. The contractor claims it is owed money from the landfill which it withheld from the TVA payments.

Then residents of Perry County AL, where the landfill is located, announced they are filing a class action lawsuit against the landfill operator, claiming "foul odors that have been making life miserable."

Now, the industrial waste water treatment company that has been processing toxic leachate (runoff) from the landfill before it is released into local waterways has announced they will no longer accept waste water from the landfill. TVA says this is not their problem and the company they contracted to dispose of the coal ash will have to deal with it.

TVA's toxic waste shell game is busted.
