SAINT LOUIS–(ENEWSPF)–May 30, 2013. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released an administrative order alleging the illegal dumping of 140,000 tons of Ameren Missouri’s coal ash waste on property owned by Rotary Drilling Supply. According to the EPA, the coal ash waste contaminated local wetlands and other nearby water sources.
