WORLD OF COAL ASH (WOCA) - May 4-7, 2009 in Lexington, Kentucky

What's WOCA?

Highly successful and widely acclaimed, the second The World of Coal Ash (WOCA) Conference was held in 2007. WOCA is a joint meeting combining separate symposia previously held by the American Coal Ash Association and the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research. WOCA also incorporates 'satellite' meetings sponsored by government and private organizations as well as educational short courses.

WOCA 2009 looks to surpass 2007's 500 participants and 40 vendors by offering both industry new-comers and veterans alike a wide variety of CCB/CCP related topics guaranteed to enhance career and job related requirements. Presentations will encompass not only the utilization of coal ash and flue gas desulfurization materials, but will cover sustainable projects using CCPs, emerging technologies, general ash management (including disposal), mercury related topics, recent research and specific case studies, international activities and regulatory topics from the local, state and federal perspectives.

Plenary Session - Speakers

- This year's plenary session will be devoted to discussions by speakers from TVA, the US EPA, and environmental advocacy group, engineering firms and state regulatory staff about the Kingston event itself, lessons learned, planned actions and implications of this ash spill on the US industry.
