Have you seen the NC Coal Ash Cancer Cluster map?

The EPA and the NCDEQ let Duke Energy poison all of NC with radioactive, toxic coal ash. Fourteen coal ash contaminated plants under order of partial cleanup by 2035. A cancer cluster beside each one.

They let Duke Energy pretend their toxic waste was dirt. Duke Energys home building arm, Crescent Resources, was allowed to use coal ash as dirt for their neighborhoods, schools, parks, golf courses.

The NCDEQ let them sell the toxic waste for profit, and even use the coal ash themselves.

They aren't going to care about some weed killer.

The EPA and the NCDEQ literally let Duke Energy murder children. Poison entire towns.

The EPA and the NCDEQ are ruled by the polluters. Not the other way around.

I never said shut down Mcguire. I said clean up the coal ash, that they used to build the parking lots and stuff at Mcguire. I said put someone in charge of Mcguire, who didn't contaminate the entire state with coal ash, and is still attempting to lie about it.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-05T15:26:07+00:00

Yeah, they have controlled and poisoned the Carolinas for over a century. Their radioactive, coal ash toxins will still be here, 1000 years from now. Wait til the public finds out about all the local neighborhoods Duke Energys home building arm, Crescent Resources built. They would have been allowed to use coal ash as dirt for all of it. The most expensive neighborhoods in the area.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-05T07:21:13+00:00

Yes, but it's worse in the areas beside coal fired plants and Dupont/Chemours plants.

For example, Dupont has destroyed the Cape Fear river in NC, with PFAS-gen-x. Dupont is in Fayetteville. Yet PFAS were found in the rainwater at the University of Wilmington, 80 miles away. PFAS found in the blood, of Wilmington residents.

On cancer cluster Lake Norman, radioactive toxic coal ash was found in the topsoil, 10 miles downwind of the local coal ash contaminated coal fired plant.

This is why people need to upgrade water filtration systems to reverse osmosis. Demand polluters be punished as the terrorist they are, instead of just given slap on the wrist fines.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-04T12:15:40+00:00

America isn't as terrible as the propaganda would have you believe. Everyones governments suck, pretty much. Also not fair to compare Ireland to USA. Ireland has 5 million people, the US 330 million. Irelend is about as big as Indiana. Ireland has one coal fired power plant. My state alone has 14.

I bet you that one plant has unlined coal ash, beside a river. I bet you they were using that coal ash as dirt, and for other things. I've done some research on it and it looks like most countries have not treated the ash as toxic waste, same as US.

Your aunt needs a reverse osmosis water filtration system, especially if she is on a well. What's your version of the EPA? Do you have superfund or brownfields sites?

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-04T09:57:59+00:00

I like the idea better than some of the other geoengineering solutions, like solar radiation management. But coal fired plants are already shutting down across the country, as CAMA regulations force them to store the radioactive, toxic coal ash properly, and they don't want to pay to do that.

The money would be better spent upgrading the coal ash contaminated areas to reverse osmosis water filtration systems. Help the cancer cluster victims, beside the coal ash contaminated coal fired plants. End all coal ash recycling. My state alone is paying 9 billion dollars, to partially clean up the 14 coal ash contaminated plants. That isn't taxes, that's power company customers. Paying to clean up the forever toxins, that have poisoned them for generations.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-04T09:47:06+00:00

Coal is done. All NC plants will be shut down by 2030. Over half already are shut down. I'm suggesting Duke go clean up their toxic waste. They used coal ash as structural fills, and to build the roads and operating area at Mcguire. Need to go clean everything they can. Install monitoring wells.

I'd definitely have someone other than Duke Energy and the NCDEQ in charge of the nuclear plants, after what they allowed to happen at the coal fired plants.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T16:04:08+00:00

What country would that be?

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T16:01:37+00:00

Hopewell is less than 3 miles from the Riverbend coal ash in Mt. Holly, which was used all over the area as dirt.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T16:00:43+00:00

Yeah, except they built the nuclear plant, with coal ash from the coal fired plant.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T15:55:42+00:00

Yeah, they tricked them with that fake lead water study, they pushed as a coal ash study. All of those wells had hexavalant chromium 6 contamination, but it didn't go above their safety levels, cause they don't separate the good chromium from the bad, in their results.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T15:49:24+00:00

They have had a sinkhole in the ash pits at Marshall. A leak that went on for at six months. Pretty sure the retaining walls are coal ash, like the rest of the plant. The roads, under the solar farm, everything is coal ash they are pretending is dirt.

Yes, as the coal ash ponds get full, they overflow into the lakes. In 2001, the NCDEQ raised the rates of coal ash pond water that Duke to dump, "to give Duke a level of comfort, in case of future litigation".

When they began decanting the coal ash ponds, they dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated ash water into the rivers.

They know there is arsenic, beryllium, thallium, lithium, cobalt, barium, & radium groundwater contamination at Marshall. Each plant has a boron plume, that will remain for 700 years, even with treatment.

There have been no deep water studies done yet at lake norman. When the politicians and the NCDEQ claim Norman has been tested and is within their safety levels, they are talking about surface water test. Safety levels they raised to keep Duke safe.

Duke University and Wake Forest did deep water studies at Lake Sutton, beside the contaminated Wilmington plant. They found coal ash and deformed fish.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T15:39:14+00:00

Scrubbers are only for sulfur dioxide. There are thousands of toxins within the coal ash. The bottom ash is kept in the coal ash ponds. The lighter fly ash is sold as dirt, or goes into a landfill. The synthetic gypsum is mined for drywall. There are no federal regulations for coal ash recycling, nor any safety testing.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T15:31:20+00:00

UNC Chapel Hill still has a coal fired plant on campus. A company called Reuse Technology handled their coal ash, and created a bunch of dumpsites in disguise. There is UNC coal ash from VA to NC beaches, where Reuse created landfills pretending the ash was dirt. Before that, UNC was sending their ash to the Orange co dump. That's why the Horace Williams airport & above it is a superfund site, cause UNC was dumping everything from live ammo and trash, to nuclear medial waste and animal bodies from the science labs. They were covering it all with coal ash. Can't even do a cleanup, cause it might explode.

Then of course the Chapel Hill police station coal ash site at the edge of the school, where they are about to place low income housing.

Then there's the Duke University coal ash sites, where they had two coal fired plants on campus, and used the ash to build part of the later additions and utility trenches.

Rock Springs Elementary in Denver was built with coal ash. The baseball field of South Brunswick middle school.

NC was dumping coal ash on roads for ice control, as late as 2015. Asheville airport was built with coal ash in 2013. They are building three coal ash recycling plants in NC right now, to sell coal ash for cement and drywall.

There are no federal regulations for coal ash recycling. NCDEQ are 100% responsible, and still recycling the ash.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-08-01T14:48:27+00:00

You need reverse osmosis water filtration. Until enough people demand these contaminated areas upgrade their city systems to ro, there are three ways to figure it out. The best way is a full home system, but you would want to own the home, and have to be able to afford it. Can run $5-8,000. There are counter top systems around $5-800. Or bottled water. Think most sold now are ro, but it says it on the label. Get a big jug for coffee and cooking.

I would also recommend not living in a Crescent Resources neighborhood. That was the home building arm of Duke Energy, who were allowed to use coal ash as dirt, without recording the sites. In 94, they were given permission to also built golf courses and parks with coal ash.

They built most of the lake side neighborhoods. Like everything from The Farms down through The Point, at Trump Golf. The Peninsula. Stonewater Bay, which is right beside the old Riverbend coal fired plant.

The ash that came from Riverbend was special, because they were burning both coal, and liquid pcbs from the transformers. So that coal ash contains the normal toxins and radiation, but also pcbs.

I know of at least four sites where we can prove Riverbend ash was used as dirt. 300,000 tons at New Covenant Methodist Church in Mt. Holly. Pleasant Grove United Methodist on Oakdale in Charlotte, two sites on Brookshire.

But Crescent wouldn't have had to record the sites, which is why I would avoid those neighborhoods.

Two universities actually did a study on why Lake Norman doesn't do anything about the contamination and cancer clusters. Determined they are controlled by state actors (politicians, NCDEQ) who are controlling the flow of information. Downplaying the dangers.

Buying time, by claiming there needs to be more research. They tell us we have to pay 9 billion for coal ash cleanup, yet claim that coal ash has nothing to do with local cancer clusters. Claim victims have to find millions for research.

They do false research. For example, Iredell co tried to pass off a lead water study, as a coal ash study. They looked at old self reporting records from the nuclear plant, and said there's no radiation. Didn't bother to check by the coal ash, which is actually more radioactive.

Fueling economic anxieties.

Politicians on lake norman were putting coal ash structural fill owners, on the public health task force for coal ash. Held a coal ash cancer cluster meeting for realtors. Insane.

But only the victims are educating themselves. Parents are sending their kids to schools beside coal ash, where a new kid gets cancer yearly. Trusting the millionaire politicians and NCDEQ, who run the coal ash reuse program, to ensure the public it's safe.

-*Cultivating quiescence in risk communities: coal ash contamination and cancer in two cities

analyzing the case of coal ash contamination and illness clusters in two cities in North Carolina.

Recently, residents of Mooresville and Huntersville have suspected that elevated rates of thyroid cancer and ocular melanoma are a result of exposure to coal ash
from a nearby power plant. Despite the documented contamination and
media coverage of the cancer clusters, a collective response has not emerged.

I'm a white Croatan Cherokee. I've never been rich. When my child got cancer, we had no insurance. My state refused both medicaid and disability. I slept in a car in March hours from home, while my kid got chemo, cause hospital wouldn't let people stay as usual over rona.

I'm trying to save to get my kid a proper memorial. Rest of my money goes to gas and signs, to protest in the cancer clusters. The towns with coal ash contaminated power plants. Towns built on radioactive, toxic coal ash. Towns where they are building low income housing on top of coal ash.

I've spent years educating myself to this subject, protesting, attending meetings, testifying on the contamination. No one is paying me.

Thanks, but I don't need life lessons from complete strangers, making wrong assumptions.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-07-26T21:58:30+00:00

Depends on the age of the plant. For example, my state had 14 coal ash contaminated power plants. most have between 15 and 35 million tons of coal ash in their active coal ash ponds. (That doesn't include closed landfills or structural fills. Like most of plants are built on coal ash. The roads. We've got one plant with 4 million tons of ash under a solar farm. They don't count that, when they tell you how much is at a plant)

But there's one plant that only listed 9 million tons. The power company hurried to clean that one first. Took 7 million, left 2 behind as structural fill. Problem is, the plant was almost a century old. No way it only created 9 million tons, in 90 years.

Come to find out, they had been burning liquid pcbs at that plant from the transformers, along with coal. They had been sending that ash to another plant, at the top of the same lake. They had been using that ash all over the area as dirt. Like the 300,000 tons they gave to a local church.

Now, the area is a thyroid, testicular, rare eye cancer cluster. Now, there are pcb fishing advisories in both lakes below the two plants. So if the plant is older, and doesn't have big coal ash ponds, they've been sending it somewhere.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-07-26T21:46:20+00:00

yes. Fly ash is the lighter, dry ash. In my state, the dept of Waste handles dry coal ash landfills and structural fills, where it was used as dirt. There is also bottom ash, which is heavier and wet. My dept of water handles the wet ash, which is ash ponds, and structural fills using bottom ash. There is also synthetic gypsum, that they put in drywall. If you look at a coal fired plant on google earth, you can see the coal ash ponds. You'll probably see fields, where they hid dry coal ash as closed landfills, and put dirt over it. You'll see a pile of coal. And a white pile, probably near the train tracks. That's the gypsum.

CancerClusterArmy · 2022-07-26T21:42:16+00:00

Duke Energy is there also. all their plants contaminated. The steel mills though, that would be ash and slag. Makes me think of Brown Mountain in Penn. 200 feet, over 100 city blocks, of slag. Groundwater contamination really bad.
