Hi Chuck, I'll post this in response to your other comment on switchboard too.
There are several environmental justice groups in your area.
Kentuckians for the Commonwealth http://www.kftc.org/ is one of the groups that NRDC has worked closely with before. I highly recommend that you contact them and see if they can help you and your neighbors deal with the undue burden of environmental pollution that has been thrust upon your community by industry interests.
Good luck and I hope your family does well,
Courtney
