Read the TVA Lawsuit Complaint

In the aftermath of the TVA ash spill, Tennessee newspapers are reporting that thousands of pounds of toxic chemicals were released into the dredge cells at TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant last year.

According to the TVA website, its plant releases:

  • Over 1.4 million pounds of barium compounds;
  • Over 49,000 pounds of lead compounds;
  • Over 142,000 pounds of manganese compounds; and
  • Over 44,000 pounds of arsenic compounds.

    In light of last week's massive ash spill at the facility, this data is alarming. The fly ash spill has tainted the Emory River and damaged dozens of properties.

    As one of the nation’s leading plaintiffs’ law firms, Weitz & Luxenberg can provide you with the legal strength you need to take on companies that have polluted your community with dangerous chemicals.

    The firm recently secured a landmark settlement against some of the country's biggest oil companies for contaminating public drinking water supplies with a gasoline additive known as methyl butyl tertiary ether, or MTBE. Most of those defendants agreed to pay $423 million to settle suits involving the contamination of 153 public and private drinking water systems nationally.

    Weitz & Luxenberg has been winning such cases for over 20 years.
