Providing Perspective On Arsenic Risks In The Human Health Risk Evaluation Of Coal Combustion Products (Ccps), Ari Lewis May 2026

Providing Perspective On Arsenic Risks In The Human Health Risk Evaluation Of Coal Combustion Products (Ccps), Ari Lewis

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Arsenic has been a key risk factor in the evaluations for the 2015 Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule and the recent “Legacy Rule”, which addresses areas of historical CCP placement not covered by the 2015 rule. These risk assessments concluded that cancer risks from arsenic in various waste management scenarios exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) target of 1 in 100,000 excess lifetime cancer cases, forming part of the basis for national CCP regulations. However, background exposure to naturally occurring arsenic in food, water, and soil also exceeds permissible levels, complicating risk conclusions. The USEPA's recent revision of arsenic …

Standardization Of Coal Ash Testing, Classification, And Harvesting, Benjamin Gallagher, Chris Frishcosy, Eric Hageman

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Standards such as product specifications, test methods, practices and guides play a crucial role in supporting both commerce and science. Standardization helps build consistency and reliability whether it pertains to the performance of an ingredient in a product or in the measurement of a material characteristic. Coal combustion products, such as coal ash and synthetic gypsum, exhibit unique characteristics and many standard have been developed to characterize these materials and support their beneficial use. ASTM is a voluntary, consensus-based organization, and publishes many standards related to coal combustion products. Currently, there are seven ASTM standards related to chemical analysis of …

Impacts Of Updating Background Groundwater Statistics For Ccr Compliance, May Raad, Molly Reeves May 2026

Impacts Of Updating Background Groundwater Statistics For Ccr Compliance, May Raad, Molly Reeves

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

In 2017, many power utilities adopted statistical methods to comply with the EPA’s Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule under the Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System. By 2017–2018, most owners completed initial statistical evaluations for detection and assessment monitoring to meet CCR deadlines. Groundwater sampling and analysis requirements in Parts 257.95, 257.98, and 257.102 are critical for compliance, yet implementation is complex. Subsections 257.93(f) and (g) lack clarity on which statistical tests to apply or how to address distributions and outliers. Additionally, the Rule does not specify when or how to update background threshold values (BTVs), though EPA’s Unified Guidance …

Risk Evaluation Of Small Coal Combustion Residual Management Unit (Ccrmu) Fills, Andrew Bittner, John Kondziolka, Qian Zhang, Masoud Arshadi

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

US EPA expanded the scope of CCR regulations in 2024 to areas of historical CCR placement not regulated under the 2015 CCR rule, including CCR used as fill. US EPA presented new risk analyses specific to CCRMU fills and defined different regulations for CCRMU fills from 1 to 1,000 tons, noting uncertainty as to whether there was a size of CCRMU fill below which acceptable risks could be expected. This research fills US EPA's stated data gap by modeling and analyzing impacts from small CCRMU fills. Modeling was conducted using the same methods, models, and most of the same inputs …

The Importance Of Evaluating Drinking Water Exposure Pathway For Assessing Risks From Ccr Sites, Ari Lewis, Ishita Shrivastava May 2026

The Importance Of Evaluating Drinking Water Exposure Pathway For Assessing Risks From Ccr Sites, Ari Lewis, Ishita Shrivastava

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Potential release of constituents present in coal combustion residuals (CCR) from CCR sites can pose risks to downgradient receptors via multiple exposure pathways. For residential receptors, these pathways include ingestion of impacted groundwater (when used as drinking water), other household uses (e.g., cooking, gardening), dermal contact during activities such as showering with impacted water or swimming in affected waterbodies, and ingestion of fish from affected waterbodies. Among these, the ingestion of groundwater used as drinking water is often the primary pathway driving potential risks (as identified in the risk assessment conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 2014). …

Alternative Cover Permitting And The Ccr Rule, Evan Andrews, Victor Damasceno May 2026

Alternative Cover Permitting And The Ccr Rule, Evan Andrews, Victor Damasceno

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Federal rules (40 CFR Parts 9, 257 and 261) that regulate coal combustion residuals (CCR) created a significant demand associated with closure of coal ash management and storage facilities using liner systems. Timelines associated with these facility closures combined with substantial project scale and potential for future mining /reuse has driven the need for closure systems that perform beyond the prescriptive soil / geomembrane caps outlined in the federal regulations. As outlined in section 257.102 (d)(3)(i) of the CCR Rule, the standard cover system must include an infiltration layer of at least 18 inches of earthen material and an erosion …

An Investigation Of The Government’S Legal Strategy After Loper Bright, Will Yeatman, Charles Yates May 2026

An Investigation Of The Government’S Legal Strategy After Loper Bright, Will Yeatman, Charles Yates

Liberty University Law Review

For forty years, the Chevron “two-step” dominated judicial review of statutory interpretation issues in the administrative law context. Then, in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Supreme Court ended Chevron deference. This Article investigates what comes next. Specifically, we explore how government lawyers have strategized in the wake of Loper Bright. Based on an original dataset of government briefs, we find that the government is advancing at least six substitutes for Chevron deference. Typically, the government combined two or more of these substitutes into an aggregated claim for Chevron-like deference. Our preliminary data suggests that courts have …

Legal Conservatism And The Rise And Fall Of Chevron, Ryan Bangert May 2026

Legal Conservatism And The Rise And Fall Of Chevron, Ryan Bangert

Liberty University Law Review

Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo marks a watershed moment in administrative law and conservative legal thought by formally overruling Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council and restoring judicial responsibility for resolving questions of statutory interpretation. This Article situates Loper Bright within the longer intellectual history of the modern conservative legal movement, arguing that Chevron deference emerged and was popularized, at least in part, as a conservative response to the perceived excesses of judicial activism during the Warren and Burger Court eras. While Chevron was initially embraced as a doctrine of judicial restraint that respected democratic accountability, it ultimately …
