Its coal ash disposal site is located in Zhaluji village. Zhaluji’s fields on the valley floor have already been buried by coal ash, but the villagers still plant crops on the mountain slopes. Several seepage wells have been built for drainage purposes, discharging ash slurry directly into the Xiangshui River. Phase 1 of the coal ash dam covers more than 133 hectares, but Zhaluji village resident Zhou Yixian told Greenpeace that the power plant has already begun building Phase 2 and 3 “right in the valley behind our home, where on the mountain we have a primary school.”Locations:Asia-China-GuizhouDate:13 Jul, 2010Credit:© Simon Lim / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2800px X 1727pxKeywords:Air pollution-Chimneys-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Coal-fired power stations-Day-Industrial landscapes-KWCI (GPI)-Land pollution-Outdoors-Pollution-Smoke-Toxics (campaign title)-ValleysShoot:Coal Ash Disposal Documentation in ChinaThe threats of coal combustion waste have been vastly underestimated in China due to regulatory loopholes that allow power companies to freely dump toxic coal ash in the environment, according to Greenpeace’s latest report, the True Cost of Coal – An Investigation into Coal Ash in China.Related Collections:Report 'True Cost of Coal: China Coal Ash'Coal Ash Disposal Documentation in China (Photo & Video)
