In this image made Monday, Feb. 3, 2014, and released by Appalachian Voices, shows Matt Wasson, Director of Appalachian Voices as he tests the water on the Dan River near Eden, N.C. Duke Energy estimates that up to 82,000 tons of ash accidentally spilled into the river Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014. Coal ash is the waste left after burning coal. It contains arsenic, mercury, lead, and over a dozen other heavy metals, many of them toxic. (AP Photo/Appalachian Voices, HO)
