On Wednesday the Rulemaking Review Committee of the West Virginia Legislature advanced revisions to the state's water quality standards rule related to human health / consumption. WV DEP has proposed revisions to 24 human health / exposure standards. The revisions were supported by the West Virginia Coal Association and were developed by a working group that includes industry, environmental and community representatives. The rule package will be considered by the full Legislature during the 2021 Regular Session.
