Kingston Ash Release

Emory River Continues To Be Closed From MM 1.5 to MM 3.0

 

As TVA and EPA continue recovery of the Kingston ash spill, large hydraulic equipment is being used to expedite the removal of ash from the Emory River. To keep the river as safe as possible, the Emory River will continue to be closed from mile marker 1.5 to mile marker 3 through February 15, 2010.

During the closure, no river traffic will be allowed through this area. In early February, EPA and TVA will review the situation and determine
when the river can be reopened.

For transport around the Emory River closure due to significant need, please contact TVA at 865-717-1635 or emoryrivertransport@tva.gov.
Advance notice of five business days is required to fill approved
requests.
