EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergncy Response is requesting an emergency review and approval of an information collection request letter to be issued under the authority of CERCLA to owners /operators of impoundments (or other diked or bermed units management units which receive liquid-borne material )used for the storage or disposal of coal combustion waste at electric utilities. This infomration is urgently needed to assess whether corrective measures are needed to protect public health, safety, and the environment.
In this information collection request, the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) seeks approval to require owners/operators of management units that contain coal combustion residues or by-products and that are located at electric utilities that burn coal to submit information to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to assist the Agency in the assessment of the structural stability of such units. This is a time- critical assessment; the information is urgently needed to determine if and where corrective measures are required to protect further harm to the public health and the environment. Through these assessments and corrective measures at the units, as appropriate, EPA seeks to prevent another catastrophic failure, such at the one which occurred at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston, Tennessee facility in December 2008.
