FEATURE
Earlier this month, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moved to loosen a 2015 regulation regarding coal ash disposal. The state of Indiana produces seven million tons of coal ash each year, and it’s the state with the most coal ash ponds in the country. Dr. Indra Frank is the Director of Environmental Health and Water Quality for the Hoosier Environmental Council. She says the EPA’s changes set up Indiana for more groundwater contamination, and will reduce the number of contaminated sites that get cleaned up. Dr. Frank spoke with WFHB News Director Wes Martin about the EPA rule changes.
