Coal combustion waste (CCW) is contaminating water sources across America including sites inPennsylvania. Throughout the guidelines that have been proposed there are phrases like, "at thediscretion of", "with department approval", or "if the Department chooses." These phrases leavesignificant loopholes in the guidelines and should be removed. Standards in the proposed Chapter 290regulations must be enforceable.

This toxic coal ash should be sealed with the use of composite liners and placement guidelines that ensureisolation from groundwater. These sites should be monitored quarterly for at least thirty years after ashplacement is finished.

The rules should require that pollutant levels are fully monitored surrounding the placement site. And if amonitoring point shows higher levels of contaminants than prior to ash placement it should trigger arequirement to investigate the causes of those increases.

Also financial assurance should be posted by operators before permits are issued and maintainedthroughout required monitoring at a site in amounts sufficient to monitor and abate pollution from theash. And the public should be permitted to participate in the entire permitting process.
