State law (Chapter 22, Article 18 of the W.Va. Code) requires Beazer East, Inc. to have a permit for the operation of its various unit(s). 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.
