EPA announced first national regulations to provide for safe disposal of coal combustion residuals from coal-fired powered plants. Final rule establishes safeguards to protect communities from coal ash impoundment failures, like the Kingston, TN spill in 2008, and establishes safeguards to prevent groundwater contamination and air emissions from coal ash disposal. In addition, final rule supports responsible recycling of coal ash by distinguishing safe, beneficial use from disposal.
