1st documented evidence of possible impacts on wildlife from the coal ash spill on the Dan River

So sad! This is the first documented evidence of possible impacts on wildlife from the massive coal ash spill on the Dan River. Jenny Edwards from the Dan River Basin Association said “Turtles should be hibernating this time of year. It’s cold. They hibernate down in the mud. The fact that they’re crawling up on the bank and dying, even if it’s not in mass numbers… It’s highly unusual.”

TAKE ACTION and tell Governor McCrory that we want NC’s coal ash waste to be moved to dry, lined storage away from water sources: http://bit.ly/toxicspillsNC
