Gloria Hammond, a resident of Juliette, Georgia, shows off water tests that display contaminants in her homes' well at the Georgia capitol on Monday, February 24, 2020. Georgia Power Co., which operates a nearby coal-fired power plant, says its monitoring wells show no contamination from a coal ash pond. The Senate passed Senate Bill 123 on Monday by a vote of 52-2, sending it to the House for more work. The measure would raise the fee for dumping coal ash from $1 a ton to $2.50 a ton, equaling what it costs to dispose of other kinds of garbage at Georgia landfills. (Jeff Amy/Associated Press)
