Residents Living Near Ash Spill Worried About Health

Posted:

More than 100 people living near Tennessee's massive coal ash spill are worried about their health.

They've all signed up for free medical screenings.

Anyone who believes they have been affected by last December's spill can have the free exams, which will be paid for by TVA.

TVA estimates it will take at two to three years to clean up billions of gallons of coal ash, which covers about 300 acres.
