The massive ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant in Kingston, Tenn., on Dec. 23, 2008, is shown the day following the spill. No one was physically hurt in the spill of coal ash from a Tennessee Valley Authority plant storage pond into the Emory River and across some 300 acres in the Swan Pond community about 35 miles west of Knoxville. But property owners in the area say they have been hurt financially.
