Public Hearing on Proposed Permit Renewals for Danny Webb UIC Facility Postponed Due to Harsh Weather Conditions

 

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A public hearing on two permit renewal applications for an underground injection control (UIC) facility near Lochgelly in Fayette County that was scheduled for Feb. 19 in Oak Hill has been postponed a second time due to inclement weather conditions.

The new hearing has not yet been scheduled but an announcement will be made with the new date and location as soon as those details have been confirmed.

The initial hearing was set for Jan. 7 but was also postponed due to weather. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection opted to postpone both events rather than risk the safety of citizens and agency personnel who would be driving on icy roads.
