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.

Bruce Reactors' Wait to Restart Extended

LCG, June 13, 2003--Two nuclear reactors in Ontario, Bruce A units 3 and 4, are expected to start later than was recently expected, based on the need to meet regulatory requirements, according to the partnership operating the plants.

The Bruce Power Limited Partnership was formed last year to purchase British Energy's 82.4 per cent stake in the reactors. The restart, says the partnership, will likely be by June 30 for Unit 4, and July 30 for Unit 3. The deal with British Energy specified that the price paid for the units would decrease with the duration of any delays before renewed operation. The partners, each of which owns a 31.6 per cent stake, are Cameco, TransCanada, and BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, which is under the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System. Prior to the purchase deal, Cameco already owned a 15 per cent stake in Bruce Power, which deals in uranium.
