ANOTHER SPILL !

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina officials said Tuesday
that groundwater containing unsafe levels of arsenic apparently
leaching from a Duke Energy coal ash dump is still pouring
into the Dan River, which is already contaminated.
The state Department of Environment and Natural Resources
ordered Duke to stop the flow of contaminated water
coming out a pipe that runs under a huge coal ash dump.
A nearby pipe at the same dump collapsed without warning
two weeks ago, coating the bottom of the Dan River
with toxic coal ash as far as 70 miles downstream.
