Rules for coal ash unclear: Enforcement will depend on whether EPA classifies waste as hazardous http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1292888461
Two years after the disastrous coal ash spill in Kingston, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is on the verge of enacting the first federal standards for the disposal of ash from coal-fired power plants.
But after eight public hearings on the proposed regulations, the last of which was in Knoxville in October, and more than 200,000 comments from interested parties across the country, one key question remains unanswered: Will coal ash be treated as a hazardous waste under the new federal rules?
Environmental activists who have been urging the EPA to regulate coal ash as a hazardous waste say they have been unable to glean any insight into which direction the new rules might take.
The EPA itself has offered no clues about its intentions or even when the new rules might be finalized.
