Hearing set on community air monitoring use bill | Legislative Session

The West Virginia House of Delegates Energy and Manufacturing Committee has scheduled a public hearing on House Bill 5018, which would bar Department of Environmental Protection use of community air monitoring data for regulatory purposes in establishing air quality standards. Opponents say the bill would discourage citizen air monitoring and frustrate efforts to supplement the DEP's air quality monitoring network, which doesn't provide monitors in most West Virginia counties.
