A resolution recognizing the need for the Environmental Protection Agency to end decades of delay and utilize existing authority under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to comprehensively regulate coal combustion waste and the need for the Tennessee Valley Authority to be a national leader in technological innovation, low-cost power, and environmental stewardship.

Senate Resolution 64 calls on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement stricter federal safety regulations for the disposal of coal ash, a byproduct of burning coal for electricity. The resolution urges the EPA to conduct immediate safety reviews of all coal waste storage sites and landfills to prevent spills that could threaten local communities and the environment. Additionally, it directs the Tennessee Valley Authority to prioritize environmental stewardship and technological innovation in its operations.
