Bill > HB4209

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create and implement a formal rule, known as a legislative rule, that specifically addresses how to control air pollution originating from facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste. The bill confirms that a rule filed on July 23, 2025, titled "control of air pollution from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, 45 CSR 25," is now officially permitted under the DEP's authority granted by a different section of West Virginia code (§22-5-4). In essence, it gives the DEP the green light to proceed with this specific environmental regulation.
