Relating to community air monitoring programs

Senate Bill 88 defines community air monitoring programs as systems run by community groups (not government agencies or polluters) to collect air quality data. It prohibits the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection from using this data for fines, enforcement actions, permit decisions, or regulatory rulemaking under the Clean Air Act. The bill requires that any data offered for investigation must meet scientific standards, including proper equipment calibration and documentation. It ensures community-collected air quality data cannot directly impact regulatory actions against polluting facilities.
