Overview
UCC is dedicated to treating water from your ash pond closure project safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with regulations. With deep expertise in system design, process chemistry, plant integration, and operational excellence, we ensure your plant’s performance expectations and effluent requirements are met seamlessly and without compromise.
DOES THE RECENT CHANGE TO THE EPA’S LEGACY CCR RULE AFFECT YOUR PLANT?
On May 8, 2024, EPA finalized changes to the CCR regulations for inactive surface impoundments, referred to as “legacy CCR surface impoundments.” Within tailored compliance deadlines, owners and operators of legacy CCR surface impoundments must comply with all existing requirements applicable to inactive CCR surface impoundments at active facilities, except for the location restrictions and liner design criteria.
