EPA Schedules Public Hearings on Proposed Coal Ash Regulations

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting five public hearings
on the Agency’s June 21, 2010 proposal to regulate the disposal and
management of coal ash from coal-fired power plants. EPA’s proposal is
the first-ever national effort to ensure the safe disposal and
management of coal ash from coal-fired power plants.

 Each hearing will begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 9 p.m., local
time or later if necessary.  The public is encouraged to pre-register to
speak at the hearings, to help the Agency plan for attendance at the
hearings.  Walk-ins and written comments will be accepted at each
hearing as well.  The proceedings of each hearing will be transcribed by
a court reporter for the official record.  EPA invites the public to
provide written comments on the proposal until September 21, 2010. The
Agency will consider all significant comments in its final decision.
