Petition to define Coal Ash as a Hazardous Waste
This petition is to ask the Environmental Protection Agency to label Coal Ash as Hazardous Waste. Many of the heavy metals in Coal Ash are already labeled as Hazardous Waste because it has been proven that some of these ingredients are dangerous to our health and can cause many forms of impairment and possibly cause death. It would only make sense to label the waste that contains Hazardous Waste as Hazardous Waste also.
We the undersigned, ask that you, as the Environmental Protection Agency, change the Label of Coal Ash to Hazardous Waste. There are many ingredients in Coal Ash that are already labeled as Hazardous Waste because they contain dangerous heavy metals that can impair the human body or even cause death to the human body. we feel that something that is this dangerous should be classified as Hazardous Waste and we ask that you please do so.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and to hopefully change the classification of Coal Ash.
