Reply to North Carolina Lake Sediments Show Decades of Coal Ash Contamination: An analysis of sediments from five North Carolina lakes near coal-burning power plants has found that coal ash pollution of surface waters has been more persistent and widespread than was previously known. by thinkB4WeSpeak
Any time I’ve posted about this on Reddit or Facebook it’s been removed or shadow banned with no explanation. The effects of this toxic ash dumping affect the entire state through the water supply. Some Reddit users have also been able to show a trend of rare cancers for those who live in homes built where toxic ash was dumped.
If I remember correctly, Duke Energy paid maybe $900k as a consequence for this whole ordeal and manages to keep it quiet.

People have mapped it out and shown that it overlaps almost perfectly. Will look for where I found this if other folks are interested.
