1 “Air” indicates emissions that come out of the stack.
2 “Water” indicates emissions that have been placed in an on-site holding pond and then discharged to the local waterway following all state and local permit requirements.
3 “Land” indicates ash that has been put in ponds or stacked dry in a pile on-site.
4 “Off-site disposal” indicates ash used for such things as driveways and fill for industrial parks.
5 Total 2004 releases represent an increase of 1,048,963 pounds over 2003. Releases increased primarily because more coal was burned and eastern bituminous coal replaced some of the western coal, which was burned exclusively in CY 03. There was also an increase in off-site shipment of wastes, particlularly vanadium.
