The TVA is dumping a mountain of coal ash in Black south Memphis

In this mention

The TVA is trucking millions of tons of contaminated coal ash through south Memphis, a predominantly Black environmental justice community already burdened by 22 other polluting industries, for nearly a decade to dispose of it in a local landfill. Residents and environmental groups, including the Southern Environmental Law Center, argue the TVA failed to meaningfully consult the community and did not seriously consider less harmful alternatives, despite the coal ash threatening the Memphis Sand Aquifer, the city's sole drinking water source.
