DEP rule relating to control of air pollution from combustion of solid waste

This bill (SB 259) authorizes West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement an existing rule (45 CSR 18) that controls air pollution from solid waste combustion facilities. It does not create new pollution standards but formally approves a rule the DEP previously proposed and filed in the State Register on July 23, 2025. The rule directly affects waste combustion facilities regulated under this standard, requiring them to comply with established air pollution controls. The bill is procedural, merely granting legal authority for the DEP to enforce the pre-existing rule without altering its requirements.
