So many ways to say “coal ash”

There are a lot of words used to describe both coal ash waste and the ways in which it is stored. Coal ash is also called "coal combustion wastes" (CCW) and "coal combustion residuals"(CCR). Wet coal ash impoundments are frequently known as "ponds," "lagoons," or "surface impoundments."
