Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed federal rules to regulate coal combustion residuals (CCRs) to address the risks posed by disposal of such waste by-products of coal-fired power plants. According to EPA, the coal combustion by-products mainly contain a wide range of metals, ...
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to formulate coal combustion residuals (CCRs) regulation. The regulation was formulated after EPA found out that CCRs can cause cancer, in which without proper protections, can lead into groundwater and migrate to drinking water sources.
