84 FR 65941
EPA, in response to the D.C. Circuit's decision in Utility Solid Waste Activities Group v. EPA, No. 15-1219, 48 ELR 20151 (D.C. Cir. 2018), proposed regulations to implement the court's vacatur of provisions that allow unlined coal combustion residual impoundments to continue receiving coal ash unless they leak, and that classify "clay-lined" impoundments as lined, thereby allowing such units to operate indefinitely; the Agency also proposed to establish a revised date by which unlined surface impoundments must cease receiving waste and initiate closure.
