This permit will be issued under authority of West Virginia Code, Chapter 22, Article 18.
The State of West Virginia is authorized to administer and enforce a hazardous waste management program, in lieu of the federal program for portions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HWSA). HWSA imposes additional requirements on hazardous waste management facilities that will be enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) until the State of West Virginia receives authorization for those requirements. State law (Chapter 22, Article 18 of the W.Va. Code) requires Cytec Industries, Inc. to have a permit for the operation of its various units.
State law also requires that DEP provide the public with an opportunity to participate in the permitting process via public notice and opportunity to request a hearing.
A copy of the administrative record, including the permit application, draft permit, and fact sheet will be available for review at the DEP office located at 601 57th Street SE, Charleston, WV 25304.
