More than a half century's worth of toxic coal ash will be excavated from the flood plain of Illinois' only national scenic river as part of a deal announced Thursday that could establish a precedent for other hazardous waste dumps throughout the state.Under a legal settlement brokered by environmental lawyers and Attorney General Kwame Raoul's office, Texas-based Vistra will drain pits of water-soaked coal ash along the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River, about 120 miles south of Chicago.
