Bokoshe (Pop.450) is the location of an offsite surface impoundment for the Shady Point power plant in Panama, Oklahoma. The dumpsite is located 7 miles from the power plant and approximately 80 trucks a day pull thru the heart of town loaded with fly ash. The dump is unlined and many people who live nearby depend on wells for their water.

Making Money Having Fun!
Just about two miles from a population of 450 is where the dump site is located. The dump is unlined and many people who live nearby depend on wells for their water. Despite violations issued in 2009 by the DEQ Air Quality Division and EPA Water Quality Division, the dump is still in operation. The dump site is operated by Making Money Having Fun LLC , and despite being found in violation of both the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act for 7 years, M.M.H.F. was accessed no monetary penalties.
