NO Coal Combustion Waste in Cumberland County!

Don't Let Cumberland County Become the 'Ashtray' of Tennessee!

Golf CapitalWhen you think of Cumberland County, Tennessee, you think of the 'Golf Capital' of the state. However, that is not exactly what Smith Mountain Solutions, LLC has in mind for the partially reclaimed Turner Mine on Smith Mountain.

The Cumberland County Chapter of SOCM has been knee-deep in the struggle to keep Cumberland County free from a Coal Combustion Waste (CCW) landfill. Coal ash is severely toxic and inherently unsafe. To place it in a partially reclaimed mine that sits within the most toxic coal seam in the state, the Sewanee coal seam, has indeterminate severe consequences to the land and waters surrounding, the air and the health of the people in the Smith Mountain Community and Cumberland County. Do you live in Cumberland County? Join SOCM today, and help us save Cumberland County from becoming the 'ashtray' of Tennessee! We meet once a month on Mondays at 5:30pm (cst) in Crossville. To join, contact Chris Hill atchris@socm.org or call the SOCM office at (865)426-9455. For more information, visit us online.
