Relating generally to asphalt grindings or millings from any WVDOH Right of Way
HB 2589 amends West Virginia law to specify how the Commissioner of Highways must handle asphalt grindings or millings removed from highway rights-of-way but not recycled for future projects. It requires these materials to remain the property of the Division of Highways and be stored at a designated site, with contractors only permitted to dispose of them to local residents along the project right-of-way. The bill explicitly prohibits contractors or any third parties from selling these materials for profit. This directly affects highway contractors, local districts, and residents near highway projects where asphalt waste is generated. The policy change clarifies disposal procedures without altering funding or creating new taxes.
