Sludge [videorecording] / by Salyer, Robert.; Adkins, Lilly.; McCoy, Nina.; McCoy, Mick.; Spadaro, Jack.; Bonds, Julia.; Appalshop, Inc.(CARDINAL)170343;
Camera, Walter Brock ... [et al.] ; original music, Jeff Barbara, Sarah Pirkle.Shortly after midnight on October 11, 2000, a coal sludge impoundment in Martin County, Kentucky, broke through an underground mine below, propelling 306 million gallons of sludge down two tributaries of the Tug Fork River. By morning, Wolf Creek was oozing with the black waste; on Coldwater Fork, a ten-foot wide stream became a 100-yard expanse of thick sludge. The spill polluted hundreds of miles of waterways, contaminated the water supply for over 27,000 residents, and killed all aquatic life in Coldwater Fork and Wolf Creek.DVD.
