The Biden administration has proposed plans to limit wastewater discharge from coal-fired power facilities.

The proposal is based on the most recent science and uses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) longstanding authority under the Clean Water Act to reduce toxic metals and other pollutants discharged from these power plants into lakes, streams, and other bodies of water, the EPA says.
