There has been a fair amount of concern about a recent public meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, regarding coal ash, mostly because the meeting wasn’t well publicized.

Public comments on the “draft straw man rule” are being accepted by email, deadline May 24. The state will purportedly then send a final draft that should reflect those comments to the Natural Resources board which will put it out for public comment and then either approve it or change it to reflect comments and do another comment/approval process.

Informal comments can be sent via email to tamara.fischer@dnr.ga.gov Subject: Rules for Solid Waste-CCR.
