AL HR90

Urges Congress to propose legislation recognizing coal combustion products (fly ash, bottom ash, and flue gas desulfurization materials) as strategic mineral resources with economic value.

Requests federal action to encourage recovery and recycling of coal combustion products for use as substitutes in transportation infrastructure and commercial, industrial, and residential construction.

Calls for preserving future access to coal combustion products stored in impoundments or landfills for reclamation and recovery consistent with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976.

Highlights that coal combustion products contain rare earth elements strategic to national defense and economy, and their use reduces energy consumption and preserves natural resources.

Directs copies of the resolution be forwarded to the Alabama Congressional Delegation to communicate the state's concerns on these matters.
