Flemington Road community member Sam Malpass of Wilmington, N.C. holds a glass of water from his home on Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014. Malpass and his wife Pat are part of a small community near L.V. Sutton Complex operated by Duke Energy they feel could be polluting well water with spill off and seepage from large coal ash ponds. “If you want to know what it’s like living near a coal ash pond, this is it,” said Malpass, 67, a retired carpenter and Vietnam veteran. “We’re afraid to drink the water because we don’t know what’s in it. We can’t eat the fish because we don’t know if it’s safe anymore. It’s changed our lives out here.” (AP Photo/Randall Hill)
