Bill > SB318

This bill authorizes a specific legislative rule filed by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) related to water pollution control permit fee schedules. The rule was originally filed in the State Register on August 29, 2024, and then modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 21, 2024. The bill specifically gives official approval to the rule under the authority of section §22-11-10 of the state code. The rule, identified as 47 CSR 26, pertains to the fee schedules that will be used for water pollution control permits, which are essentially official permissions required for activities that might impact water quality. By authorizing this rule, the Legislature is formally approving the DEP's proposed fee structure for these environmental permits, ensuring that the department has the legal framework to implement and collect fees for water pollution control permits.
