Iowa's coal-ash pits may need to be lined
May 11, 2009

The state government in Iowa is considering whether to require liners in coal-ash piles to prevent runoff from contaminating rivers and streams, and possibly to help prevent catastrophic failures like the one that spilled a billion gallons of coal waste near Kingston, Tennessee, last December. Iowa has only one nuclear power plant and gets about 80% of its electricity from coal-fired power plants. Because power plants are major users of water, we offer a range of products to serve the energy industry, including the geomembrane liners that may be required by new regulations.
