Background

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 257 and 261 that establishes requirements for the management and disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCRs), also known as coal ash, from coal-fired power plants. The rule establishes national minimum technical requirements for CCR landfills and surface impoundments under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation Recovery Act.

In addition to the technical requirements, the CCR rule at 40 CFR 257.107 specifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for each facility to establish and post specific information required in 40 CFR 257.105 to a publicly accessible website. This website will be used to accomplish that requirement. The information will be posted as it is available under the CCR Rule Compliance Data and Information page of this website.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 423 that revise requirements of the effluent limitations guidelines and standards (ELGs) for coal-fired power plants. 40 CFR 423.19 specifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for each facility, including an obligation to post specific information to a publicly accessible website. This website will be used to accomplish that requirement. The information will be posted as it is available under the ELG Rule Compliance Data and Information page of this website.
