Title: Regulatory Determination on Remaining Wastes From the Combustion of Fossil Fuels 
Abstract: On December 1, 1992, the Agency determined that additional study of four large-volume wastes -- fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and flue gas emission control wastes -- from the combustion of coal by electric utility power plants was not necessary. A Final Regulatory Determination on these wastes was signed on August 2, 1993 and published in the Federal Register on August 9, 1993. The Agency also determined that for the remaining fossil-fuel combustion wastes, additional data collection is necessary to make a Regulatory Determination on these wastes. A Final Regulatory Determination is due per court order by April 10, 2000. These remaining wastes include: (1) fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and flue gas emission control wastes from the combustion of coal by electric utility power plants when such wastes are mixed with, co-disposed, co-treated, or otherwise co-managed with other wastes generated in conjunction with the combustion of coal or other fossil fuels, and (2) any other wastes subject to section 8002(n) of RCRA other than those subject to the August 1993 regulatory determination referenced above.
