Concerns dominated a West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection hearing on a proposed air quality permit for a planned ammonia production site in Mingo County. TransGas Development Systems LLC plans to build up to six 6,000-metric-tons-per-day ammonia-making plants near Wharncliffe, a project it has called the Adams Fork facility.
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve an air quality permit for a planned ammonia production facility in Mingo County, West Virginia without conducting an air quality impact modeling analysis. The DEP says emissions at the site planned by TransGas Development Systems LLC wouldn t be high enough to merit such an analysis under a state legislative rule.
