Remember Coal Ash?

From Politico's Morning Energy:

Thursday the Environment and Economy panel will go after EPA’s plans for federal regulations on coal ash and other waste products from coal-fired power plants. EPA is considering two options for the rules: one preferred by environmental groups that would regulate ash as a hazardous waste and set binding standards for its disposal, and another industry-backed option that would declare ash non-hazardous, giving states more leeway in setting their own disposal standards.
