The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday approved the plan, which calls for 30 years of monitoring at a cost of about $10 million.
An estimated 500,000 cubic yards of sludge is what remains in the rivers after a containment dike at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil Plant burst, spilling 5.4 million cubic yards of the ash.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports a citizen's group established as a liaison between TVA and the community generally supports the plan, but its leader said more still needs to be done to help the community.
