- Description (A smokestack connected to a power plant is visible across a body of water. The pond is likely an example of a surface impoundment where coal waste products were stored post-combustion. Spills from ash ponds due to embankment failure have led to substantial waterway pollution, ecosystem disruption, and community health hazards in Central Appalachia. )
