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
22
States.
This
analysis
is
in
the
form
of
tables
that
identify
the
program
elements
pertaining
to
mine
placement
oversight
in
each
State.
Most
of
the
information
presented
here
(
Tables
1
through
5)
pertains
to
CCW
placement
in
coal
mines
only.
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
research
on
regulatory
programs
for
noncoal
mines;
Table
6
presents
the
available
information
on
non­
coal
mine
placement.

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
26
States
(
DRAFT,
July
2,
2001).
The
26
States
covered
in
that
document
are
those
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.
This
document
covers
22
of
the
26
States
covered
in
the
detailed
analysis.
Louisiana,
Michigan,
Oklahoma,
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.
1
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
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
has
requirements
in
addition
to
those
required
under
SMCRA.

°
For
program
elements
that
are
not
covered
by
Federal
SMCRA
regulations,
the
tables
show:
 
A
checkmark
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.
 
"?"
for
States
where
the
presence
of
the
program
element
could
not
be
determined
by
EPA.

The
following
sections
provide
definitions
of
the
program
elements
specified
in
each
column
of
the
tables.
Note
that
some
States
have
additional
program
elements
that
are
not
covered
by
the
columns
in
the
tables.

Two
of
these
States
do
not
require
a
SMCRA
permit
at
all
for
CCW
placement
projects
that
are
defined
as
disposal
(
as
opposed
to
beneficial
use)
under
their
programs.

3
In
three
of
these
States,
the
need
for
additional
approval
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.

4
In
three
of
these
States,
the
need
for
public
participation
depends
on
whether
a
project
is
classified
as
disposal
or
beneficial
use
by
the
State.
SMCRA
requires
a
permit
covering
all
coal
mining
and
reclamation
operations.
Fourteen
of
the
22
States
require
that
this
SMCRA
permit
specifically
address
CCW
placement
(
e.
g.,
through
identification
of
the
CCW
placement
areas
in
the
permit
application).
2
Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
whether
the
other
eight
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,
seven
of
the
22
States
treat
the
proposal
as
a
major
permit
revision.
Two
States
treat
this
a
minor
permit
revision.
Three
States
determine
the
type
of
revision
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.

Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
the
type
of
permit
revision
for
the
other
10
States.

Additional
Permit,
Notification,
or
Approval
12
of
the
22
States
require
some
form
of
regulatory
agency
approval
prior
to
CCW
placement
in
addition
to
(
i.
e.,
outside
of)
the
SMCRA
permit
(
e.
g.,
a
State
solid
waste
permit).
3
Two
more
States
determine
the
need
for
additional
approval
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis
(
e.
g.,
depending
on
the
characteristics
of
the
CCW).

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,
10
of
the
22
States
incorporate
public
participation
in
permitting.
4
Five
more
of
the
22
States
determine
the
need
for
public
participation
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.

Action
Item:
EPA
could
not
identify
whether
there
is
public
participation
for
permitting
in
the
other
seven
States.

as
disposal
(
as
opposed
to
beneficial
use)
by
the
State.
Action
Item:
EPA
has
not
yet
identified
whether
the
other
21
States
apply
the
SMCRA
provisions
for
disposal
of
non­
coal
mine
waste
to
CCW
placement
projects.

Financial
Assurance/
Bonding
SMCRA
requires
a
performance
bond
that
covers
the
entire
permit
area,
with
release
contingent
on
successful
completion
of
the
reclamation
plan,
including
revegetation.
Four
of
the
22
States
have
more
specific
or
stringent
financial
assurance
requirements
(
e.
g.,
specific
financial
assurance
for
the
CCW
placement
project,
a
liability
period
that
extends
beyond
completion
of
the
reclamation
plan).
21
Four
more
States
determine
the
need
for
more
stringent
financial
assurance
requirements
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.

Post­
closure
Site
Utilization
Restrictions
This
program
element
covers
whether
States
place
restrictions
on
the
post­
closure
use
of
CCW
placement
areas.

Action
Item:
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
identification
of
this
program
element.

Table

Non­
coal
Mine
Placement
Regulatory
Programs
Tables
1
through
5
address
program
elements
applicable
to
placement
of
CCW
in
coal
mines
only.
Regulatory
programs
applicable
to
placement
of
CCW
in
non­
coal
(
e.
g.,
sand,
gravel,
limestone,
clay)
mines
may
differ,
because
non­
coal
mines
are
not
regulated
under
SMCRA.

Action
Item:
EPA
has
not
yet
completed
an
analysis
of
non­
coal
mine
placement
regulatory
programs.
EPA,
however,
has
identified
at
least
five
States
that
have
programs
specific
to
this
type
of
placement.
