1 “Air” indicates emissions that come out of the stack.
2 “Water” indicates emissions that have been placed in an on-site holding pond and then discharged to the local waterway following all state and local permit requirements.
3 “Land” indicates ash that has been put in ponds or stacked dry in a pile on-site.
4 “Off-site disposal” indicates ash used for such things as driveways and fill for industrial parks.
5 Total 2004 releases represent a decrease of 745,427 pounds from 2003. Releases decreased due to a reduction in the use of eastern coal and a switch to western coals, which have lower concentrations of nearly all reportable chemicals, particularly chlorides. Also less coal was burned.

5 Total 2003 releases represent an increase of 208,337 pounds over 2002. Releases increased primarily because more coal was used and more slag remained onsite. Offsite waste transfers increased because more solid and hazardous waste was shipped offsite for disposal.

5 Total 2002 releases represent a decrease of 2,212,954 pounds from 2001 amounts. The decrease was due to the reduced amount of coal combusted and the switch to western coals, which have lower concentrations of most of these reportable chemicals, particularly chlorides.

1 “Air” indicates emissions that come out of the stack.
2 “Water” indicates emissions that have been placed in an on-site holding pond and then discharged to the local waterway following all state and local permit requirements.
3 “Land” indicates ash that has been put in ponds or stacked dry in a pile on-site.
4 “Off-site disposal” indicates ash used for such things as driveways and fill for industrial parks.
5 Total 2003 releases represent an increase of 208,337 pounds over 2002. Releases increased primarily because more coal was used and more slag remained onsite. Offsite waste transfers increased because more solid and hazardous waste was shipped offsite for disposal.

5 Total 2002 releases represent a decrease of 2,212,954 pounds from 2001 amounts. The decrease was due to the reduced amount of coal combusted and the switch to western coals, which have lower concentrations of most of these reportable chemicals, particularly chlorides.
