Burning coal in electric utility plants produces, in addition to
power, residues that contain constituents which may be harmful to
the environment. The management of large volumes of coal combustion
residues (CCRs) is a challenge for utilities, because they must
either place the CCRs in landfills, surface impoundments, or mines,
or find alternative uses for the material. This study focuses on
the placement of CCRs in active and abandoned coal mines. The
committee believes that placement of CCRs in mines as part of the
reclamation process may be a viable option for the disposal of this
material as long as the placement is properly planned and carried
out in a manner that avoids significant adverse environmental and
health impacts. This report discusses a variety of steps that are
involved in planning and managing the use of CCRs as minefills,
including an integrated process of CCR characterization and site
characterization, management and engineering design of placement
activities, and design and implementation of monitoring to reduce
the risk of contamination moving from the mine site to the ambient
environment. Enforceable federal standards are needed for the
disposal of CCRs in minefills to ensure that states have adequate,
explicit authority and that they implement minimum safeguards.
