Subject: coal ash ponds
Are Chatham residents aware that we are the host of five coal ash waste dumps? Oops, sorry the word used is ponds not waste dumps. ( Remember the word lagoons used to describe the open cesspools of waste from hog excrement? A bit misleading and used to calm down the anxiety, that would be high if words like waste dump and cesspool were used instead of ponds and lagoons.)
I wonder why the energy companies thought that Chatham was so ideal. Wonder what else will be coming our way of energy waste products in the near future? Multiple waste chemicals and radioactive brine? That will be wonderful for our future clean ground water. Those who have well water are a bit better off then those using and paying for other water supplies. That will soon end if we allow it.
