What the Heck Good Is TCEQ? on Coal Ash Regulation

I think you'd have to go spend for your own monitoring equipment and then be able to PROVE that the crap you breathe actually came from some crappy spewing foul place and even then TCEQ would waffle about saying that it was actually bad. Pah!  From the Temple Daily Telegram.

While the massive coal ash spill last month in Tennessee is expected to result in new federal regulations, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality stated that none of the 17 coal-fired power plants in Texas have violated existing rules for disposing of the coal combustion by-product in landfills.

Coal ash is considered by the Environmental Protection Agency and TCEQ as an “industrial solid waste” and is not regulated as a hazardous waste.
