It has been mentioned that according to current regulation only new landfills and ponds are required to be covered by liner-special materials and the old ones are potential contamination source as the components of coal ash might leak from them.
Second, the passage states ,that putting strict regulation toward storing and handling coal ash may result in decrease in demand of materials ,which utilize recycled coal ash.
