Summary: The Edison Electric Institute (EEI), representing U.S. investor-owned electric companies, broadly supports the EPA's proposed rule to provide site-specific flexibilities for coal combustion residual (CCR) management. They advocate for a "bridge" process to allow for site-specific closure standards while federal permits are being established, arguing that a one-size-fits-all approach is technically impracticable and unnecessary for protecting human health and the environment.
Please find comments from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) on the proposed rule titled "Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System: Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities: Legacy Utilities; Legacy/CCRMU Amendments" (Docket No. EPA-HQ-OLEM-2020-0107) attached here. Thank you for your consideration of these comments.
