West Virginia Senate President Craig Blair and state House of Delegates Speaker Roger Hanshaw have objected to an agreement between West Virginia environmental groups and the United States Environmental Protection Agency aimed at cleaning up the Lower Guyandotte River watershed.

The state Department of Environmental Protection has filed a motion in federal court to intervene in a proposed settlement to limit mining pollutants in streams. At the heart of the issue is the Guyandotte River and the alleged failure of the DEP to administer water testing and limits for ionic toxicity in 11 state streams that affect 100,000 people. As a result, conservation groups filed a lawsuit.
