Comment submitted by Utility Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG)

Summary: The Utility Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG), an association of over 130 electric utilities and power producers, supports the EPA's proposed revisions to the CCR rule. They argue for greater regulatory flexibility, specifically advocating for the exemption of beneficial uses, the clarification of "dewatering structures" as non-regulated storage, and the expansion of closure exemptions for legacy impoundments.
