Summary: The Chesapeake Climate Action Network opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it weakens wastewater discharge standards for coal-fired power plants and will increase toxic metal contamination in groundwater. They contend that the rule prioritizes coal company cost savings over significant public health benefits and poses risks to rural communities relying on private wells.
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network submits its comment, attached as a PDF, to state and explain its opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule, Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category-Unmanaged Combustion Residual Leachate.
