{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Post article on Dominion's plan to dump coal ash in the Potomac

Mark,

I'm not certain the ponds have been sufficiently tested or that this information is public but I supposed the permits have listed levels of concentrations of the toxic chemicals. Check page 3 of this letter from MD DNR for a summary on the toxicology of these of these concentrations from a Wake Forest University scientist: http://potomaclocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Maryland_DNRComments_VA0002071_PossumPoint_Jan11_2016.pdf

Some highlights (or lowlights) are:
- levels of copper that can kill 20-50% of aquatic organisms
- levels of selenium that are 5 times the concentration that the EPA says are acceptable and 5 times a rate that have shown deformities in Bluegill

Doesn't sound good to me.
