What are the two proposals?
The proposal opens a national dialogue by calling for public comment on two approaches available under RCRA for addressing the risks of coal-ash management. One option is drawn from remedies available under Subtitle C, which creates a comprehensive program of federally enforceable requirements for waste management and disposal. The other option includes remedies under Subtitle D, which gives EPA authority to set performance standards for waste management facilities which are narrower is scope and would be enforced primarily by those states who adopt their own coal ash management programs. A chart comparing and contrasting the two approaches is available online.
