Vulcan Materials In Kingsport Making Headway With Seepage Problem In North Fork Of Holston

Last month, we reported Vulcan Materials in Kingpsort was fined thirty thousand dollars for large amounts of limestone particles seeped into the North Fork of the Holston River, and now the company says it has taken steps to prevent further seepage of sediment in the future. The company has regraded the plant and stockpile areas in a way that allows for better surface drainage as well as a network of pipes to route any sediment into settling ponds on the property.
