DEP rule relating to standards of performance for new stationary sources

SB 313 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement a regulatory rule (45 CSR 16) governing emissions standards for new stationary sources, such as factories or power plants. This procedural bill formally approves rules the DEP previously filed in the State Register on August 23, 2024, under existing legal authority. It does not create new standards but enables the DEP to enforce the existing rulemaking process for new industrial facilities. The bill directly affects the DEP's regulatory authority, not businesses or residents, as it confirms the legal basis for the rule.
