    It is global. China was accepting the worlds recycling because they are manufacturers and recycle it. But they are starting to go in the direction of being consumers and are cleaning their nation up. The recycling in the united states used to be shipped to china, but now it is not. It is not pilling up here and going to landfills in some cases. https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/other...ash/ar-BBNxocW

    Dam breach raises concerns about coal ash flowing into North Carolina river

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dam-...ry?id=57989561



    Duke Energy says a dam at a power plant in Wilmington, North Carolina has been breached, raising concerns that water contaminated with byproducts of burning coal could flow into the Cape Fear River.
    Duke says ponds that store solid byproducts of burning coal that can contaminate waterways with substances like mercury and arsenic, known as coal ash, are submerged but they believe stable and not releasing ash into the river.But a spokeswoman also said they cannot rule out that coal ash was released and will continue to monitor the situation.

    NC river swirls with gray muck near flooded coal ash dump



    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/nc...cid=spartandhp



    WILMINGTON, N.C. — Gray muck is flowing into the Cape Fear River from the site of a dam breach at a Wilmington power plant Friday where an old coal ash dump had been covered over by Florence's floodwaters.

    Duke Energy spokeswoman Paige Sheehan said Friday the utility doesn't believe the breach at the L.V. Sutton Power Station poses a significant threat of increased flooding to nearby communities.The potential environmental threat was unclear.No environmental regulators were at the scene, with officials citing unsafe conditions.Floodwaters breached several points early Friday in the earthen dam at Sutton Lake, the plant's 1,100-acre (445-hectare) reservoir. Lake water then flooded one of three large coal ash dumps lining the lakeshore.

    Sheehan said the company can't rule out that ash might be escaping the flooded dump and flowing through the lake into the river.The ash left over when coal is burned to generate electricity contains mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic heavy metals. Duke said Friday the inundated basin at the plant contains about 400,000 cubic yards (305,820 cubic meters) of ash.The area received more than 30 inches (75 centimeters) of rain from former Hurricane Florence, with the Cape Fear River still rising Friday and expected to crest Sunday and remain at flood stage through early next week.Gray material the company characterized as "coal combustion byproducts" could be seen floating in the lake and river.

    Toxic Spills Highlight Trump's Deregulation of Coal Plant Waste

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...al-plant-waste

    The breach of a pond used to store coal ash in North Carolina has revived criticism of the Trump administration’s efforts to loosen restrictions on how power plants dispose of the toxic waste.

    The Environmental Protection Agency in July relaxed Obama administration requirements that forced companies to keep a closer watch on coal ash disposal sites and their potential groundwater contamination -- and signaled further revisions sought by industry are coming.

    “The rollbacks by the Trump administration make these kinds of risks more likely and more dangerous,” said John Rumpler, clean water program director for advocacy group Environment America.

    NO, it is NOT a taste of deregulation, and NO, corporations DO NOT "love" it.
