This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the control of air pollution specifically from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The rule in question was initially filed in the State Register on August 23, 2024, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 18, 2024.
The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the designation of the rule as "45 CSR 25," which pertains to the aforementioned control of air pollution. This legislative action aims to enhance environmental protection measures related to hazardous waste management in West Virginia.
