TVA lets sludge into Ocoee River
By Anne Paine • THE TENNESSEAN • January 9, 2009


TVA has released muddy sludge once again, this time on the Ocoee River in East Tennessee.

Efforts to repair one of a series of dams on the river released sediment into the rocky channel over the weekend, agency spokeswoman Barbara Martocci confirmed Thursday. The U.S. Forest Service discovered the problem Sunday.

Ha ha, Roger, I was just logging in to see if anyone had posted this! I noticed that Guntersville, a major recreation area near Huntsville, has also been inundated.
