Coal combustion residuals management
We take a strategic view of your coal combustion residuals management practices and work with you to design a path that gets the job done.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) coal combustion residuals (CCR) rule has fundamentally changed how coal-fired power plants manage CCR, requiring a shift to landfills, expanded beneficial use, and enhanced groundwater monitoring. Navigating this complex rule as well as other evolving regulations can be daunting.
Haley & Aldrich’s CCR consultants bring decades of regulatory and utility experience to help clients strategically plan for compliance, manage risks, and control costs, even as regulations change. Now that the CCR rule has been in effect for nearly a decade, we can help you reexamine your CCR program to reduce risks, gain efficiency, and plan for evolving requirements. Our CCR consulting team provides thorough programmatic reviews and gap analyses that consider recent and potential rule changes, dynamic site conditions, and complex site geology and groundwater geochemistry.
Our approach begins with gaining a deep understanding of client operations; then we collaborate across corporate and facility teams to develop actionable strategies. A forward-thinking mindset is simply part of our DNA — it’s how we’ve supported clients for over 25 years, even partnering with them to proactively plan for the CCR rule before its promulgation.
We deliver value by developing real-time monitoring dashboards, securely managing data by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), designing on-site CCR management solutions, and applying risk-based engineering strategies for groundwater remedies. Clients also rely on us for regulatory impact analysis, compliance document review, and clear stakeholder communication, which helps them stay ahead of deadlines and achieve long-term value.
