Industry, Activists Question EPA Suspension Of Coal Ash Reuse Program

摘要

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson is facing competing concerns from industry proponents and environmentalist critics of coal ash recycling after the agency decided to suspend and then reevaluate its voluntary partnership with industry designed to promote the reuse of coal ash in products.rnIn May, EPA suspended its partnership in the Coal Combustion Products Partnership (C2P2) - which also includes other federal agencies and industry groups - while considering its proposal to issue first time Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) rule to regulate the waste.
