General Information
| Action Summary |
On April 17, 2015, EPA published in the Federal Register a final rule titled “Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities.” The federal rule will become effective on October 19, 2015. Virginia previously adopted regulations concerning the use of Coal Combustion Byproducts (9VAC20-80-85 et seq.), which need to be revised to be consistent with the new federal rule. Virginia’s rule regulates the use of coal combustion byproducts (CCB), and the federal rule regulates coal combustion residuals (CCR). CCR are a specific type of CCB, and definitions, applicability, and a locational restriction are being revised to be consistent with the federal rule. |
