Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category: Unmanaged Combustion Residual Leachate

Susan Collins of FWWatch opposes the proposed action, arguing that the coal industry is a primary driver of the climate crisis. She advocates for closing coal and natural gas plants in favor of a transition to renewable energy.

Rachel Combelic expresses frustration regarding the continued use of coal in the energy sector. However, the comment does not take a specific position on the proposed Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Unmanaged Combustion Residual Leachate.

Debi Combs, a private resident, opposes the proposed rule because she believes it weakens wastewater pollution standards and allows the coal industry to avoid cleaning up toxic combustion residual leachate. She argues that the rule will lead to increased drinking water contamination and disproportionately harm communities near coal-fired power plants.

Gail Landy, a private resident, opposes the proposed rule because she believes it weakens wastewater pollution standards and allows the coal industry to avoid cleaning up toxic leachate. She argues that the EPA should withdraw the proposal and instead focus on retiring coal plants in favor of cleaner energy sources like solar and wind.
