Attorney General Beshear Announces Investigation of Radioactive Waste in Boyd, Estill

Counties
FRANKFORT, KY. (March 16, 2016) I am deeply troubled by allegations involving the transporting and illegal disposal
of radioactive waste in Boyd and Estill counties. My office has launched an investigation into the matter, working closely
with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, and other state, local and federal officials. As Attorney General, protecting
Kentucky families is my top priority, so I am particularly troubled that the Blue Ridge Landfill in Irvine allegedly containing
these hazardous materials is located across the road from two schools. To the concerned parents in the community, I
promise we are giving this investigation our full attention, and we share your concerns. Attorney General Andy Beshear.
