摘要
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in May of this year issued a proposed rule that would greatly expand the scope of federal regulations governing the management of coal combustion residuals, or CCRs. CCRs are produced from the combustion of coal in boilers (typically in the form of bottom ash or fly ash) and contain trace amounts of heavy metals. Historically, CCRs have been managed at power plants in onsite impoundments that are designed to treat the material.
