HB 2234 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the control of air pollution from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities

HB 2234 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement a specific rule controlling air pollution from hazardous waste facilities. The bill directly affects facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste by requiring them to comply with the new air pollution standards. The key provision formalizes a rule (45 CSR 25) that the DEP revised after addressing legislative committee concerns, making it official through this authorization. This is a procedural step to finalize existing regulatory language, not a new policy change.
