Summary

The EPA's Final Coal Combustion Residual (CCR) Rule was published on April 17, 2015 and went into effect on October 19, 2015. The rule regulates existing active CCR waste landfills and surface impoundments (ponds) and all new CCR waste disposal units built after the rule's publication. Tampa Electric's Big Bend Station has fulfilled all of its compliance obligations under the rule by closing and retrofitting all regulated CCR Units at the facility and has posted all relevant records related to these closure projects on this website.
