3,100,000 cubic feet of material would cover 400 acres to a depth of 2 inches. So, I think what they mean is that 400 acres of land has been impacted, in some areas depths are 4 to 6 feet. Not to downplay this tragedy, but it isn't helped by confusing the facts. What is really important is how much material is left when the water evaporates, and what heavy metals or other toxic substances are in that material.

Upvoted for importance.

wow that's so cool, let's put 1000 of em in the middle of Yosemite!

Not to be a tree hugger, but we've been using coal since the middle ages. It's a filthy inefficient resource, you'd think we'd have upgraded since then.

Don't worry, it's clean coal.

Cut the power lines from your house and buy a wind turbine. Obviously the reason you don't do so is you prefer cheaper power.

Nobody is stopping you.

I live by 3 mile Island. Wind turbines are stupidly expensive and you have to buy a converter box thing from the state to hook it up in your home, also stupidly expensive. You're right to guilt me a bit though I guess.
