Ash: A Dirty Oklahoma Secret</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> - In the southeastern Oklahoma
community of Bokoshe, an environmental and public health nightmare has
plagued residents in the form of the toxic coal fly ash disposal pit
operated by Clean Hydro Reclamation, formerly known as Making Money Having
Fun, LLC. The toxic coal fly ash, which includes numerous
carcinogens, mercury, and arsenic, is produced by the coal fired electric
power plant, AES Shady Point, owned by AES Power and located in Panama,
Oklahoma. Fed up with the prevalent health and environmental issues
infecting their community, the citizens of Bokoshe formed BE Cause to
voice their concerns and fight for the enforcement and adoption of
effective enviromental regulations of coal fly ash. Finally, the
Environmental Protection Agency has requested public comments on the
regulation of coal fly ash. <a
