Mine
Placement
of
Coal
Combustion
Waste
State
Program
Elements
Analysis
This
document
summarizes
elements
of
State
regulatory
programs
applicable
to
the
placement
of
coal
combustion
waste
(
CCW)
in
surface
or
underground
mines.
This
document
does
not
comment
on
the
adequacy
of
individual
State
programs;
it
summarizes
the
program
elements
of
the
State
programs.
This
analysis
is
in
the
form
of
tables
that
identify
the
program
elements
pertaining
to
mine
placement
oversight
in
each
State
for
coal
mines
and
noncoal
mines
(
e.
g.,
sand,
gravel,
limestone,
clay).

The
information
presented
in
this
document
is
summarized
from
the
detailed
analysis
conducted
in
Regulation
and
Policy
Concerning
Mine
Placement
of
Coal
Combustion
Waste
in
Selected
States
(
DRAFT,
August
2002).
The
States
covered
in
that
document
include:

°
The
States
with
the
largest
number
of
coal
mines,
which
includes
all
of
the
members
and
associate
members
of
the
Interstate
Mining
Compact
Commission
(
IMCC),
except
North
Carolina,
South
Carolina,
and
New
Mexico,
and
°
The
States
with
the
greatest
estimated
likelihood
of
CCW
placement
into
noncoal
mines.

In
total,
this
document
covers
all
but
two
of
the
States
covered
in
the
detailed
analysis.
Louisiana
and
Utah
are
not
included
in
this
document
because
there
is
currently
no
placement
of
CCW
in
coal
mines
in
these
States
and
EPA
has
not
yet
identified
the
applicable
regulatory
requirements.
The
Navajo
Nation
also
is
not
included
because
it
lacks
regulatory
jurisdiction
over
mine
placement
within
its
boundaries.

The
applicable
programs
in
many
States
operate
under
the
authority
of
the
Federal
Surface
Mining
Control
and
Reclamation
Act
of
1977
(
SMCRA).
SMCRA
requires
that
State
regulations
for
coal
mines
be
at
least
as
stringent
as
Federal
regulations
promulgated
by
the
U.
S.
Department
of
Interior
Office
of
Surface
Mine
Reclamation
and
Enforcement
(
OSM).
As
a
result,
the
tables
presented
herein
use
the
following
conventions
to
describe
program
elements:

°
For
program
elements
that
are
included
in
the
Federal
SMCRA
regulations,
the
tables
show:
 
"
S"
for
States
whose
program
is
substantively
similar
to
that
required
under
SMCRA.
 
"
S+"
for
States
whose
program
is
more
stringent
or
have
requirements
in
addition
to
those
required
under
SMCRA.

°
For
program
elements
that
are
not
covered
by
Federal
SMCRA
regulations,
the
tables
show:
 
An
"
X"
for
States
whose
program
includes
the
program
element.
 
A
blank
for
States
whose
program
does
not
include
the
program
element.
 
"
CBC"
for
States
that
apply
the
program
element
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.
 
A
question
mark
for
States
where
the
presence
of
the
program
element
could
not
be
determined
by
EPA.

In
six
of
these
States,
the
need
to
address
CCW
placement
in
the
SMCRA
permit
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

2
In
six
of
these
States,
the
determination
of
the
revision
as
major
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

3
In
one
of
these
States,
the
determination
of
the
revision
as
minor
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
beneficial
use
(
as
opposed
to
disposal)
by
the
State.

4
Two
of
these
States
determine
the
type
of
SMCRA
revision
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis
depending
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.
The
following
sections
provide
a
synopsis
of
the
program
elements
specified
in
each
column
of
the
tables.
The
program
elements
for
coal
mines
are
presented
in
Tables
1
through
5
while
those
for
noncoal
mines
are
presented
in
Tables
6
through
10.
The
regulatory
programs
applicable
to
placement
of
CCW
often
differ
greatly
for
coal
mines
versus
noncoal
mines
because
noncoal
mines
are
not
regulated
under
SMCRA.
Note
that
some
States
have
additional
program
elements
that
are
not
covered
by
the
columns
in
the
tables.

Table
1:
Administrative
Program
Elements
for
COAL
Mines
Address
CCW
in
SMCRA
Permit
SMCRA
requires
a
permit
covering
all
coal
mining
and
reclamation
operations.
Fifteen
of
the
23
States
profiled
for
coal
mine
placement
require
that
this
SMCRA
permit
specifically
address
CCW
placement
(
e.
g.,
through
identification
of
the
CCW
placement
areas
in
the
permit
application).
1
Two
States
do
not
address
the
CCW
placement
in
the
SMCRA
permit.

Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
whether
six
of
the
States
explicitly
address
CCW
placement
in
SMCRA
permits.

Type
of
Revision
to
SMCRA
Permit
When
CCW
placement
is
proposed
following
the
issuance
of
a
SMCRA
permit,
eight
of
the
23
States
treat
the
proposal
as
a
major
permit
revision.
2
Two
States
treat
this
as
a
minor
permit
revision.
3
Three
States
determine
the
type
of
revision
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.
4
Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
the
type
of
permit
revision
for
eight
of
the
States.

In
six
of
these
States,
the
need
for
additional
approval
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

6
One
of
these
States
determines
the
need
for
additional
approval
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis
depending
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
beneficial
use
(
as
opposed
to
disposal)
by
the
State.

7
In
six
of
these
States,
the
need
for
public
participation
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

8
In
two
of
these
States,
the
case­
by­
case
determination
of
the
need
for
public
participation
depends
on
whether
the
project
is
classified
as
beneficial
use
(
as
opposed
to
disposal)
by
the
State.

9
In
three
of
these
States,
the
public
availability
of
data
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.
Fourteen
of
the
23
States
require
some
form
of
regulatory
agency
approval
(
e.
g.,
a
State
solid
waste
permit)
prior
to
CCW
placement
in
addition
to
(
i.
e.,
outside
of)
the
SMCRA
permit.
5
Two
more
States
determine
the
need
for
additional
approval
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis
(
e.
g.,
depending
on
the
characteristics
of
the
CCW).
6
Public
Participation
in
Permitting
SMCRA
requires
public
participation
(
public
notice,
comment,
and
access
to
the
permit
application
and
final
decision)
for
an
application
for
a
permit,
a
major
(
but
not
minor)
revision
of
a
permit,
or
a
renewal
of
a
permit.
Thus,
SMCRA
public
participation
requirements
would
be
applicable
to
CCW
placement
projects
in
States
where
(
1)
the
SMCRA
permit
addresses
CCW
placement,
and
(
2)
proposals
to
place
CCW
are
treated
as
major
permit
revisions.
Some
States
have
additional
public
participation
provisions
(
e.
g.,
as
part
of
their
solid
waste
permitting
program).
In
total,
12
of
the
23
States
incorporate
public
participation
in
permitting.
7
Five
more
of
the
23
States
determine
the
need
for
public
participation
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.
8
Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
whether
there
is
public
participation
for
permitting
in
the
other
seven
States.

Public
Availability
of
Monitoring/
Inspection
Data
This
program
element
covers
whether
members
of
the
public
have
access
to
ongoing
monitoring
results
and
inspection
reports.
While
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
identification
of
this
program
element
for
all
23
States,
it
has
found
that
seven
of
the
23
States
do
provide
public
access
to
items
such
as
ongoing
monitoring
results
and
inspection
reports.

In
three
of
these
States,
the
opportunity
for
public
participation
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as

or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

11
In
eight
of
these
States,
the
need
to
address
CCW
placement
in
the
reclamation
plan
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or

In
eight
of
these
States,
the
need
to

PHC
determination
depends
on
whether
a

This
program
element
covers
whether
members
of
the
public
have
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
compliance
assessment
or
the
implementation
of
compliance
activities
for
projects
subject
to
compliance
action.
While
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
identification
of
this
program
element
for
all
23
States,
it
has
found
that
seven
of

Address
CCW
in
Reclamation
Plan
SMCRA
requires
a
reclamation
plan
that
provides
for
the
protection
of
the
environment
and
public
safety.
Fifteen
of
the
23
States
require
that
the
reclamation
plan
specifically
address
CCW
placement
(
e.
g.,
through
inclusion
of
a
CCW
placement
plan).
11
Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
whether
seven
of
the
States
specifically
address
CCW
placement
in
the
reclamation
plan.

Address
CCW
in
Site
Characterization/
PHC
Determination
SMCRA
requires
that
the
reclamation
plan
include
characterization
of
the
mine
site
(
e.
g.,
geologic
and
hydrologic
information).
SMCRA
also
requires
a
hydrologic
reclamation
plan
specific
to
local
conditions
and
a
probable
hydrologic
consequences
(
PHC)
determination.
Twelve
of
the
23
States
require
that
these
site
characterization
and
planning
activities
specifically
address
CCW
placement
(
e.
g.,
through
background
monitoring
surrounding
the
placement
area).
12
Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
determine
whether
the
other
11
States
specifically
address
CCW
placement
in
these
activities.

13
In
nine
o
f
these
States,
the
need
to
have
more
stringent
siting
requirement
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

14
In
five
of
these
States,
the
need
to
address
acid
mine
drainage
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

15
In
five
of
these
States,
the
application
of
enforceable
limits
and/
or
corrective
action
requirements
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.
SMCRA
places
restrictions
on
where
surface
coal
mining
operations,
in
general,
may
be
conducted
(
e.
g.,
not
within
300
feet
of
occupied
dwellings,
parks,
or
public
buildings).
Fourteen
of
the
23
States
have
additional,
more
stringent
location
standards
specifically
for
CCW
placement.
13
Address
Acid
Mine
Drainage/
Acid­
Base
Balance
Six
of
the
23
States
have
special
requirements
applicable
to
CCW
placement
when
acid
mine
drainage
is
present
or
when
the
placement
is
designed
to
remediate
acid
mine
drainage.
14
Examples
of
such
requirements
include
characterization
of
the
neutralization
potential
of
the
CCW
or
complete
acid­
base
accounting
for
the
CCW
and
the
placement
environment.

Formal
Risk
Assessment
Focused
on
CCW
This
means
that
a
formal
risk
assessment
is
required
as
part
of
the
planning
process
for
CCW
placement.
While
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
identification
of
this
program
element
for
all
23
States,
it
has
found
that
one
of
the
23
States
has
a
risk
assessment
element
in
place
and
another
State
determines
the
need
to
do
a
risk
assessment
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis
for
disposal
projects
(
as
opposed
to
beneficial
use).

Action
Item:
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
identification
of
this
program
element
for
16
of
the
States.

Enforceable
Limits/
Corrective
Action
Requirements
SMCRA
requires
compliance
with
all
applicable
Federal
and
State
water
quality
requirements
and
with
all
permit
conditions.
In
the
event
of
noncompliance
with
a
permit
condition,
permittees
must
take
all
possible
steps
to
minimize
adverse
impacts,
including,
but
not
limited
to:
accelerated
or
additional
monitoring
and
implementation
of
compliance
measures.
Nine
of
the
23
States
have
enforceable
limits
(
e.
g.,
numerical
standards)
specific
to
CCW
placement
projects
and/
or
more
specific
corrective
action
requirements
(
e.
g.,
identifying
when
corrective
action
is
required
and/
or
what
measures
should
be
taken)
applicable
to
CCW
placement
projects.

16
Ten
of
these
States
also
require
ongoing
characterization
during
placement
(
e.

quarterly,
annually,
or
when
the
source
of
the
CCW
changes).
17
Thirteen

Groundwater
Monitoring
SMCRA
requires
groundwater
monitoring
to
be
designed
on
a
site­
specific
basis
based
on
the
PHC
determination.
At
a
minimum,
SMCRA
requires
monitoring
for
four
parameters,
with
submission
of
data
every
three
months,
that
continues
until
bond
release.
Eleven
of
the
23
States
have
additional
or
more
stringent
requirements
(
e.
g.,
more
minimum
parameters,
specific
monitoring
of
the
CCW
placement
area)
for
monitoring
during
CCW
placement.
19
Five
more
States
determine
the
need
for
additional
monitoring
for
CCW
placement
projects
during
placement
on
a
case­

basis.
20
Six
of
the
11
States

Twelve
States
have
specific
numerical
standards
that
CCW

meet
before
being
considered
acceptable
for
placement.
46
One
State
applies
waste

as
well.
48
Surface
Water

during
CCW
placement
and
four
out
of
the
five
extend
