NRECA Challenges EPA’s New Coal Ash Rule
Posted on Aug 8, 2024 in Litigation, Press Release | Comments Off on NRECA Challenges EPA’s New Coal Ash Rule
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) has filed a lawsuit with other utility groups challenging the EPA’s new rule on coal ash impoundments, arguing it imposes undue costs and could harm grid reliability. The rule, which expands regulations to include inactive sites and other previously unregulated areas, is criticized for being overly broad and potentially affecting already compliant facilities. NRECA contends that the EPA has exceeded its authority and that the rule’s definitions will lead to higher compliance costs and operational disruptions.
