West Virginia considers draft water quality rules
West Virginia lawmakers review a draft set of water quality standards that would follow federal guidance. The Dept of Environmental Protection responded to about 200 pages of comments after a July hearing. Rules head to the Legislative Rule-Making Committee and then the 2019 Legislature, with three year review cycles and potential tweaks. The proposed changes align with 2017 actions on mixing zones and harmonic mean flow, risking higher toxin levels.
