65 organizations filed 109 public comments on Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System: Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities; Legacy Surface Impoundments, at the Environmental Protection Agency. The comment window closed 29d ago.

Abstract

On April 17, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) promulgated national minimum criteria for existing and new coal combustion residuals (CCR) landfills and existing and new CCR surface impoundments. On August 21, 2018 the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion in the case of Utility Solid Waste Activities Group, et al v. EPA, which vacated and remanded the provision that exempted inactive impoundments at inactive facilities from the CCR rule. As a first step to implement this part of the court decision, EPA is seeking comments and data on inactive CCR surface impoundments at inactive utilities “legacy units” to assist in the development of future regulations for these CCR units.
