EPA Proposes Rule Changes to Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Requirements to Restore American Energy Dominance

LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

TVA Plans Restart of Nuclear Unit

LCG, Oct. 2, 2002--An agreement for engineering services has been signed that calls for the restart of the Tennessee Valley Authority's nuclear generator Browns Ferry Unit 1 in 2007.

The planned return to operation would follow restarts of Units 2 and 3 at the same nuclear complex in the 1900's. According to the president of engineering firm Becthel's global power business unit, Scott Ogilvie, "These units have been performing exceptionally well -- they are leaders in the industry, and we see that happening again with Unit 1."

The units were first shut down following the 1979 Three Mile Island accident, which led to regulatory changes that could not be satisfied at the time. Unit 1 will add more than 1,250 megawatts of capacity to the grid.
