North Dakota gains control of coal ash ponds under Trump-era EPA rule
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has announced the final decision in Bismarck, North Dakota, approving the state's request to regulate over a dozen coal ash ponds. This move is part of the EPA's progress on Donald Trump administration priorities, even during the government shutdown.
The Donald Trump administration has granted North Dakota's request, making it the fourth state to oversee coal ash waste sites instead of the federal EPA. The decision, announced by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in Bismarck, is a significant step in the EPA's progress on Donald Trump administration priorities, even during the recent government shutdown. The name of the state's president involved in this decision is not mentioned in the search results, as the search only discusses David Cook, president of North Dakota State University, who is not a state government official or governor.
North Dakota now joins three other states in regulating coal ash waste sites, following the Donald Trump administration's approval. This decision, announced by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, is part of the EPA's ongoing progress on Donald Trump administration priorities.
