Advancing Data-Driven Approaches to Coal Ash Management

Coal combustion residuals (CCR) management continues to evolve as utilities and organizations address complex regulatory requirements, legacy surface impoundments and long-term environmental stewardship. TRC supports clients with integrated technical expertise, advanced data tools and regulatory insight to help manage coal ash sites while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency.

At The World of Coal Ash (WOCA) 2026, TRC will share technical insights and practical solutions that support coal ash characterization, groundwater monitoring, conceptual site model development and CCR landfill management. These sessions highlight how data-driven approaches and advanced analytical tools can help organizations make informed decisions while navigating evolving regulatory frameworks.

The conference brings together industry professionals focused on the science, applications and sustainability of coal combustion products (CCPs) and CCR management.
