Workshop Title
Share Your Voice: Effective Public Comment Writing for EPA’s Proposal to Weaken Coal Ash Disposal Standards
Overview
Join the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) and coal ash expert Dr. Grace Schwartz for a workshop on writing effective public comments on EPA’s proposed rule to weaken standards for the disposal of coal ash, or coal combustion residuals (CCR). Coal ash is one of the largest sources of industrial waste and contains hazardous toxins, yet the proposed rule would loosen rules for its storage and reuse.
We all have the opportunity to make our voices heard by submitting a public comment on this proposed rule. Whether this is your first time hearing about public comments or you’re looking to understand more about coal combustion residuals and the proposed changes in this rule, this workshop is open to you! In this session we will:
- Present and explain key components of the proposed rule
- Share tools and tips for writing an effective public comment
- Answer questions about the proposed rule or public comments in general
