These are Radiation Levels, detected at Rock Springs Elementary School in Denver, North Carolina. After uncovering school and Duke Energy records of Coal Ash being used as Fill Dirt during construction on the grounds, we attempted to find the Hot Spots using a Geiger Counter. We have been able to detect higher levels of radiation where Coal Ash is closer to the surface, than it should be by regulation(a required depth of 18 inches). Sure enough, we discovered extremely High levels of radiation throughout the School Grounds, with dose rates up to 28µR/h, on the Soccer Field where kids play and fall in the dirt. Once again, these High Radiation Levels are only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, as we use this method to find the Ash that is close to the surface and therefore very dangerous due to its toxic chemicals. The possibility of contact to the skin, ingestion or inhalation of the dust is a grave concern once the Ash is exposed to the surface. Places where people, especially our children, gather and play should not be Coal Ash Fill sites.

The Gamma Radiation Level Tracks are created with ‘RadiaCode 103’ detection devices. Each colored dot represents a Radiation detection(dose rate), in microroentgens per hour. We use these detections to pinpoint Hot Spots, where Coal Ash is closer to the surface, within Coal Ash Fill Sites. Click on each dot to see the level detected. Radiation Levels range from Purple(Lowest per Track), then Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red(Highest per Track). On each Map you can deselect the Layers (Individual Tracks) to more easily see the Highest and Lowest detection points of each Track.
