Congress Blocks EPA Rule on Disposal of Legacy Coal Ash Waste Sites.
This resolution aims to stop new federal regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concerning the management and cleanup of older, inactive coal ash storage sites. If passed, power plants will not be required to follow these specific new federal standards for reclaiming historical waste ponds. Citizens should be aware that the absence of these regulations may impact local environmental protection standards and groundwater quality near these disposal sites.
Key points
Blocks federal requirements for cleaning up and managing old, inactive coal ash disposal sites (Legacy CCR Surface Impoundments).
The nullification of the EPA rule means responsibility for these sites will largely remain with the states or be governed by existing, potentially less stringent rules.
