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.

Proposed New York Underground Transmission Line Appears Dead

LCG, January 4, 2005--Conjunction LLC's proposal to the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to install a 125-mile, underground electric transmission line from the Athens Generating Station into New York City via the New York State Thruway is apparently no longer under consideration, according to Conjunction LLC Chief Executive Officer Steve Mitnick. Conjunction believes NYPA has turned its attention towards another transmission proposal submitted by PSE&G.

The transmission line proposal is in response to the planned shutdown in 2008 of a generating station in Queens. Conjunction filed its original proposal in November 2003 and filed an amended application in August 2004. The August proposal included constructing a 1,000 MW, predominately underground direct current (DC) line from NYPA's Gilboa-Leeds transmission line in Athens to the Consolidated Edison Company's Rainey substation in the Borough of Queens, New York City.
