Case Studies

C2P2 Logo

The following case studies have been submitted to the EPA and are intended to be illustrations of coal combustion product applications that the Agency believes can be beneficial to the environment. These include ash stabilized in cement and concrete that is used in buildings, bridges, dams and highways; and ash in potentially more sensitive, loose applications such as highway embankments, road beds, and agriculture. It is important to note that, while the Agency believes these case studies to be fair and accurate descriptions of successful coal combustion products, coal ash can vary widely in its physical and chemical characteristics. The products in which coal ash may be used should be assessed to ensure that they meet applicable environmental and engineering regulations and standards, as well as product and professional codes and specifications.

The Agency welcomes questions and comments about these case studies, as well as additional submissions for potential publication on this web site. These may be directed to John Sager (sager.john@epa.gov).
