The West Virginia Air Quality Board (AQB) hears appeals pertaining to the
Division of Air Quality's enforcement and permitting actions. Citizens and
the regulated community file appeals with the Board. The Board maintains
records of pleadings, subpoenas witnesses, holds hearings and rules on
matters before it.
The Board is composed of seven members, five of whom are appointed by
the Governor and two ex-officio members who are Commissioners of the
Bureau for Public Health and the Department of Agriculture.
Please do not confuse the Board with the Divison of Air Quality. The WV
Division of Air Quality implements air quality standards and issues
permits which strictly control the construction, modification or relocation
of sources of air pollution. The Division of Air Quality also enforces compliance
with air quality standards.
Questions
regarding air pollution issues such as air monitoring,
permits, emissions, and enforcement actions should be directed
to the WV Division of Air Quality at (304) 926-0475 or visit their website at www.wvdep.org/item.cfm?ssid=8
