EPA is proposing to regulate for the
first time, coal combustion residuals (CCRs) under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to address the risks from the
disposal of CCRs generated from the combustion of coal at electric
utilities and independent power producers. However, EPA is
considering two options in the May 2010 proposed rule and, thus, is
co-proposing two alternative regulations. Under the first option,
EPA would reverse its August 1993 and May 2000 Bevill Regulatory
Determinations regarding coal combustion residuals (CCRs) and list
these residuals as special wastes subject to regulation under
subtitle C of RCRA, when they are destined for disposal in
landfills or surface impoundments. Under the second option, EPA
would leave the Bevill determination in place and regulate disposal
of such materials under subtitle D of RCRA by issuing national
minimum criteria. Under both options EPA is proposing to establish
dam safety requirements to address the structural integrity of
surface impoundments to prevent catastrophic releases.
