Comment submitted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)

Summary: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) generally supports the EPA's proposed revisions to the Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) regulations, particularly those providing flexibility for site-specific permitting, beneficial use, and dewatering structures. However, the agency requests sufficient timeframes for states to update their own rules and opposes requiring legacy units that closed under state programs to re-demonstrate closure under federal rules.
Hello,
On behalf of the TCEQ, please find our comments attached on a Proposed Rule by the Environmental Protection Agency - Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System: Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities; Legacy/CCRMU Amendments.
