KINGSTON, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Test results show that air quality and drinking water are ok, according to the EPA, after a massive fly ash sludge slide at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant in Roane County that happened Dec. 22.

The EPA says they've taken about 100 air quality readings at nine locations, and none of the results exceeded national ambient air quality standards.

They also say that samples taken at three area water treatment plants and nearby wells show that the water is safe to drink and meet national water standards.

However, two of 16 samples of river water taken from the Clinch, Emory and Tennessee rivers exceeded drinking water standards, but EPA officials stressed that all 16 of those samples were taken from raw river water that has not been treated.

Crews have been working to seed the fly ash in an effort to limit any dusting while cleanup continues. The fly ash contains high levels of arsenic.

If the heavy rains that are forecast come, officials say the seed spread by helicopter could be washed away. They say they'll just have to reseed if that happens.

Sen. Bob Corker toured the ash spill site by helicopter Monday.

“There is no question the ash spill has destroyed many people’s way of life and that the greater community not directly affected by the disaster will still be affected by what has happened here for a long time to come," Sen. Corker said after the tour.

“I get a strong sense from TVA that they want to do all they can to make right what has happened. As a first step, TVA should hold another public meeting to again lay out where they are and what they will do to make the people affected feel and be whole again."

TVA will hold another public meeting in Harriman Tuesday at the United Methodist Church at 6 p.m.

TVA says the decision to hold the public meeting was made a week before Sen. Corker's visit to the area.

There is also a special called meeting of the Kingston City Council Tuesday at the Kingston Community Center at 7 p.m.

“I talked to Governor Bredesen today and he indicated even stronger oversight from state government," Sen. Corker says. "My staff and I have had continual contact with (Roane County) Mayor (Mike) Farmer and TVA CEO Tom Kilgore and their teams and assured all involved that we stand ready to take appropriate measures at the federal level if and when that’s necessary.”
