Comment submitted by Georgia Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD)

Summary: The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD) supports the proposed federal rule revisions to the Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) regulations, noting they provide necessary regulatory flexibility and align with site-specific conditions. The agency requests that the EPA establish a streamlined, efficient process for states with already approved CCR programs to incorporate these new amendments without requiring a complete reevaluation of their existing programs.
