Coal Ash Hearing Scheduled In Knoxville

09.23.10 8:48 AM

After intense criticism of EPA for not scheduling a public hearing in or near Roane County, the site of the largest coal ash spill that received international attention, EPA has decided to hold a hearing in Knoxville on October 27, 2010.  The purpose of the hearing is to accept public comments on the co-proposed rules to regulate coal combution residuals.  One proposal would regulate coal ash as a hazardous waste, but called a special waste.  The other would allow states to regulate coal combustion residuals under RCRA Subtitle D as a solid non hazardous waste.  See this blog elsewhere for more detail on this co-proposal.  The information on the hearing is as follows:

TIME: 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

DATE: Wednesday, October 27, 2010

PLACE: Knoxville Marriott, 500 Hill Avenue, SE, Knoxville TN, 37915

The hearings will continue past 9:00 p.m. if necessary. Pre-registration is available online. Walk-ins will be accommodated when time allows and written comments will be accepted the hearing. The agency will consider the public's comments in its final decision.
