EPA Announces Next Set of Actions on Coal Ash Program

Updated: Aug 21

July 17, 2025


The EPA is taking new steps to streamline its coal ash program, including extending compliance deadlines and working with states to manage their own regulations. This move aims to provide the power industry with more time and flexibility in meeting environmental requirements.

“President Trump recognizes that affordable and reliable energy are key to the strength of our nation and to our nation’s energy dominance,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. “Today’s actions provide much needed regulatory relief for the power sector and help deliver on the commitments outlined on the greatest day in deregulatory history to unleash American energy, lower costs for Americans, and work hand-in-hand with our state partners to advance our shared mission.”
