This is an annotated version of the first 27 pages of the EPA's Drafk Risk Assessment on Coal Combusion Waste. The entire, 330 page document is entitled "Human and Ecological Risk Assessment of Coal Combustion Wastes" and is available here. The full version contains the detailed experimental methods used in the analysis. The version hosted here is truncated to include only the results/discussion portion of the paper.
The Draft Risk Assessment clearly shows that CCW landfills with only clay liners (like the one proposed for Cumberland Park) lead to significantly increased cancer risks to humans and observable toxicity to ecosystems. Unfortunately, the EPA will not likely create any laws based on such findings until early 2008.
