EPA Proposes Approval of Indiana's Coal Combustion Residuals Permit Program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its proposed approval of Indiana's application for a state-run coal combustion residuals (CCR) permit program. If finalized, Indiana would take over from the federal government in issuing permits for CCR disposal in landfills and surface impoundments. This move is part of the Trump EPA's efforts to restore energy dominance and strengthen cooperative federalism.
