On Wednesday, the House passed H.R. 1734, the Improving Coal Combustion Residuals Regulation Act of 2015, by a vote of 258-166. H.R. 1734 establishes minimum federal requirements for the regulation of coal combustion residuals that all state permitting programs must incorporate. The requirements directly incorporate and effectively codify the protective standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its final coal ash rule. The bill also establishes the process and deadlines for implementation of state permit programs.
