Handling and Use of FGD Material
Annual production of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) material is projected to rise significantly as proposed regulations related to coal-fired power plant emissions result in increased installation of FGD systems. This production increase coupled with future federal guidance on the disposal and mine placement of coal combustion by-products (CCBs), including FGD material, may significantly impact CCB management.

Objective
To assemble baseline information related to the character and management of FGD material.

Results
The resulting in-depth white paper study includes information on the state of FGD production, a review of various FGD systems, and a discussion of current practices for handling, disposing of, and using these materials.
