Significant soft spot in the 2014 forecast for the U.S. geosynthetic market is the lack of coal ash regulatory stability
Three years after unveiling its proposal to regulate coal ash disposal in 2010, the EPA has delayed the rules.
IFAI estimates there were 535 coal ash sites that require new liners as of 2012.
Enforcing a liner requirement at these sites could mean $300-$350 million in sales for the U.S. geosynthetics market over the next five to seven years.
