Summary: An individual opposes the proposed weakening of the EPA Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule, citing specific instances of documented pollution and groundwater contamination at Alabama Power's Plant Barry. The commenter urges the EPA to prioritize groundwater protection over the proposed regulatory changes.
I oppose the proposed weakening of the EPA Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Rule. About 21 million tons of coal ash are stored in direct contact with groundwater at Alabama Power's Plant Barry. The company's own monitoring shows levels of arsenic and cobalt leached from the coal ash that exceed groundwater protection standards. This is documented pollution, not a hypothetical risk.
please correct this possibility - in other words, pretend it's your home water. Thanks for standing in the gap.
