Map the spill: Three leaks, ONE dischage permit

From Pete Harrison, an attorney for the Waterkeeper Alliance:

Here is a map showing approximate locations of:

  1. the ongoing seepage pouring over orange rocks that Waterkeeper identified (orange line)
  2. the 48” pipe that collapsed on Feb. 2 causing the major spill event (red line)
  3. the 36” pipe that is now under question (yellow line)
  4. the only NPDES-permitted outfall for the entire ash impoundment (green line)

Note that this is an approximation, based on incomplete information, and subject to change.
