DEP rule relating to control of air pollution from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities
Senate Bill 260 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement a rule (45 CSR 25) that controls air pollution from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. This rule, filed in the State Register on July 23, 2025, establishes specific air pollution standards for facilities handling hazardous waste. The bill directly affects hazardous waste facilities in West Virginia by requiring them to comply with these new emission controls. The rule itself, not the bill, defines the exact pollution limits and compliance procedures.
