Toxic winter: Pollution events in WV and NC reflect a broader problem

February 27, 2014
Clean water – or rather, dirty water — has generated a lot of headlines this winter. The January 9 chemical spill into Charleston’s Elk River in West Virginia garnered national attention for weeks. A month later, coal ash from a Duke Energy facility spilled into North Carolina’s Dan River. Then more news emerged from West

Bay states to Mississippi Basin: Mind your own business
