There is an enormous amount of coal ash in Georgia.
More than 89 million cubic feet of it, according to the state Environmental Protection Division. That’s enough to fill up about 6 million dumpsters with the toxic byproduct from burning coal to generate electricity.
Even though both the federal and the state governments have introduced rules in recent years about cleaning it up, there’s still debate in Georgia over the safest way to store it for the long-term.
In a Tuesday hearing, Georgia lawmakers considered one coal ash bill that’s making progress in the legislature and made reference to another one that isn’t.

Conservation groups say science doesn t support the move, and that it could undermine gains made in part with the help of unusual public-private partnerships that have taken decades of work and millions of dollars.
But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the bird s population is stable now, and that legally its status should be changed.
