Activists Target 'Dry' Coal Ash Disposal In Bid For Hazardous Waste Rule

摘要

Environmentalists are suing a power company over alleged Clean Water Act violations from a "dry" coal ash disposal facility, saying the suit highlights the risks of coal waste and the need for EPA to regulate all types of disposal, including both dry and wet, as hazardous in its pending first-time rule for the waste.rnEPA will propose by the end of the year a Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) rule for coal ash disposal either as hazardous waste under subtitle C of the law or nonhazardous under subtitle D.
