Coop’s Fuel & Compliance Manager Speaks to House Subcommittee on Coal Combustion Residue Regulation
Leonard Hopkins of Southern Illinois Power Cooperative spoke to a House subcommittee regarding the beneficial uses that the coop has found for its coal combustion byproducts. Mr. Hopkins is concerned that labeling coal combustion residue as hazardous will undermine the coop’s practice of recycling the residue for use in products like cement and fertilizer blends. The NRECA has a copy of Mr. Hopkins testimony.
