Summary:

Provides background to understand legislative proposals to amend Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and identifies potential challenges to implementing proposed permit program. Discusses regulatory standards on which permit program would be based, and considers their influence on program implementation, highlighting existing and proposed EPA standards relevant to the proposed coal combustion residuals (CCR) permit program. Summarizes provisions in the proposed Section 4011 of RCRA, identifies potential challenges to implementing a statutory permit program, and compares regulations applicable to municipal solid waste landfills to comparable elements of the proposed CCR permit program.
