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.

Madison Plant Construction Begins

LCG, Oct. 15, 2003--A 150-megawatt power plant that will be jointly owned by the utility Madison Gas and Electric Co. and the University of Wisconsin is officially under construction beginning today.

The plant will provide power to the university and the city of Madison, as well as steam and chilled water to the UW-Madison campus. The facility will boost local generation, whereas currently 85 percent of area power needs are met through imports, according to MGE's Steve Kraus.

Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle was scheduled to appear at a ceremony today, and to speak on streamlining the approval process and providing economic incentives for construction of more new power plants. The groups Friends of Responsible Energy (FORE) and Madison Physicians for Social Responsibility have voiced disapproval over the failure of MGE to incorporate $6 million worth of pollution control technology into the plant, which they say will result in an unnecessary airborne health hazard.
