EPA has proposed approving Indiana’s partial coal-combustion-residuals permit program. Approval would give the Indiana Department of Environmental Management permitting responsibility for covered coal-ash disposal units. The proposal is still under review.
Leslie Bonilla Muñiz of Indiana Capital Chronicle reports on the September 15 announcement, proposed safeguards, and concerns raised by the Hoosier Environmental Council. EPA’s program page provides the primary documents and public-participation information. A hybrid hearing is scheduled for November 12.
