This week, the Court in the Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) deadline litigation postponed the status conference scheduled for July 26, and the conference is now set for October 11, 2013. This is the third time the court has postponed the status conference, leaving little hint of what this could mean for the CCR proposed rule. The Court said that the July 26 conference was unnecessary given pending motions for summary judgment. The lawsuit involves environmental groups suing EPA over the failure to finalize a federal rule regarding disposal of CCRs.
