This paper reports on the kinetics of mobilization of trace inorganics from impounded ashes from the Savannah River coal burning steam plant. The magnitude of release of As, Cd, Cr and Ni from both old and recent ash basin sediment cores is also reported. Experimental data on the potential for groundwater contamination by trace inorganics released by the impounded ashes is reported and discussed. The groundwater contained unacceptable levels of As, Mn, and Ni.
