Intergovernmental meeting will get coal ash update

Anderson County Intergovernmental Committee will hold a meeting at 5:55 p.m. Monday, July 12, in room 312, Anderson County Courthouse, 100 S. Bowling St, Clinton, or via GoToMeeting video.

This meeting is a Coal Ash Contamination Monitoring Meeting with TDEC Division of Solid Waste Management Director Patrick Flood and TDEC CCR Technical Manager Robert Wilkinson

Citizens are urged to comment non-redundantly for up to three minutes, and ask probing questions of TDEC’s Patrick Flood and Robert Wilkinson, who will discuss recent Bull Run groundwater contamination monitoring test data.

The courthouse has a new UV air filtration system, but because only 46-percent of Anderson countians are fully vaccinated and the Delta variant is spreading, the Bull Run Neighbors community organizing team urges attendees who have been fully vaccinated for two weeks to attend in person, and those not yet protected to join via GoToMeeting video for which a link may be found when available by clicking on “Intergovernmental - Rm 312” on the Anderson County Government Calendar.

To prepare with coal ash community activism expert Lisa Evans, Senior Counsel at Earthjustice, and SELC Nashville Office Director Amanda Garcia, please join Bull Run Neighbors’ July 8 community Zoom meeting, also listed on the HBG website’s interactive calendar.
