U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander exerted pressure on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to hold a hearing in Roane County, the scene of the worst coal ash-related disaster in the nation’s history.
EPA bows to pressure, sets Knoxville coal ash hearing

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has done an about-face:
It will now hold a hearing on proposed coal ash rules closer to Roane County, site of the Dec. 22, 2008, catastrophe that got the government talking about the need for tougher ash regulation.
“EPA will hold a final hearing in Knoxville, Tenn., the week of Oct. 25,” the agency said in an e-mail.
Officials said they were still  making arrangements on the exact date and place.
