TVA Says Widows Creek Tests Are Hopeful
Comments Below: 0
We have an update on the spill last week at the Widows Creek power plant near Stevenson, Alabama.
TVA officials on Monday said that initial tests show no major environmental damage.
They show slightly elevated levels of more than a dozen substances in the Tennessee river below the plant.
They include the metals aluminum, arsenic, magnesium and sulfate.
But officials say they meet federal standards for drinking water.
TVA says the material that leaked was used for making dry-wall.
But critics note the Widows Creek wet dump is one of the most hazardous in the country.
