Groundwater Contamination and the "Beneficial Reuse" of Coal Ash in Southeast WisconsinEach year, utility companies in the United States burn nearly one billion tons of coal. This coal burning produces exhaust, wastewater, and about 130 million tons of leftover solid waste known as “coal ash.”This article examines research on the groundwater contamination in Wisconsin, the widespread disposal of coal ash, and the potential connection between them. Recommendations for changes in state and federal regulation of coal ash to prevent drinking water contamination are presented.
