There were a number of options for dumping the sludge including dumping it on land but it's cheaper to dump it in the ocean. Hopefully some determined green minded folk will protest and get the dump site changed.
Considering the amount of money to be made from the coal I think they could afford to transport the sludge onto the land with a minor impact on profits.
