EPA Proposed Approval of the Partial Texas CCR Program
In May 2020, TCEQ adopted the Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Waste Management regulations (in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 352). On December 3, 2020, the EPA declared the U.S. State of Texas Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Permit Program administratively complete. Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve in part the Texas CCR program (30 TAC Chapter 352).
If approved, the Texas CCR program will operate in lieu of the federal CCR program (40 CFR Part 257). EPA is seeking comments on this proposal during a 60-day public comment period and will be holding a virtual public hearing on EPA’s preliminary approval of the Texas partial CCR program.
The hearing will convene on February 2, 2021 at 9 a.m. (ET) and conclude at 6 p.m. (ET).
