KNOXVILLE -- The Tennessee Valley Authority is planning to close coal ash storage facilities at its coal-fired power plants and is asking for the public to comment.

TVA is also hosting information sessions. The sessions start at 5:30 p.m., and locations are listed with the draft statement and online comment form at https://www.tva.gov/nepa .

Comments must be postmarked or emailed by Feb. 24.
