SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Coal combustion residuals surface impoundments; closure. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality to require the closure of any coal combustion residuals (CCR) surface impoundment located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The bill requires that such closure include the removal of all CCRs for disposal in a permitted landfill that meets federal criteria and that the impoundment site be reclaimed in a manner consistent with federal mine reclamation standards. Finally, the bill allows an investor-owned public electric utility to recover the costs of closure from customers. This bill was incorporated into SB 1355.
