What is the status of EPA’s Coal Combustion Products Partnership (C2P2) program which supports the beneficial use of coal ash?
While EPA is engaged in the rulemaking process for coal combustion residuals, the Agency has suspended active participation in the Coal Combustion Products Partnership. EPA continues to believe that the beneficial use of residuals from coal combustion, when performed properly and in an environmentally safe manner, is beneficial to the environment and EPA is not proposing to modify the existing Bevill exemption for coal ash when beneficially used. EPA is interested in broadening the dialogue on beneficial uses and encourages all interested parties to review and provide comments and any relevant information and data on the proposed rule.
