On the recordOctober 14, 2011
For the purpose of a colloquy, I would like to yield to the gentleman from West Virginia. Mr. McKINLEY. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Before I agree to support the gentleman's amendment, I would like some clarification on one of the provisions it contains. It would amend the definition of ``revised criteria'' in the bill to read: ``The criteria promulgated for municipal solid waste landfill units . . . as revised under section 4010(c) in accordance with the requirement of such section that the criteria protect human health and the environment.'' Does the gentleman's amendment open the door, even a sliver, to EPA promulgating coal ash regulations not otherwise authorized in this bill under the guise of protecting human health and the environment; or for EPA to use the language as an arbitrary yardstick by which to judge State programs?
