Current practices and issues for placement of coal combustion by-products in mine settings
The placement of coal combustion by-products (CCBs) in mine settings is viewed quite differently by various stakeholders. A summary of key research on placement of CCBs in mine settings is presented. A limited survey of current practices for placement of CCBs in surface mine settings was performed by the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC), and the results are summarized. The survey provides a brief comparison of eastern and western practices as reported by appropriate state agencies. This document also discussed the importance and impact of valid scientific information and citizen groups on the perception of regulating entities that have responsibility for approving practices related to placement of CCBs in mine settings.
