Permit Workshops For Your Watershed
Are you concerned about pollution being discharged to your local rivers from industries and wastewater treatment
plants?
Would you like to learn how to make your voice heard when permitting decisions are made?
The West Virginia Rivers Coalition's Permit Analysis Program is sponsoring a series of workshops that will help
you learn about and comment on water pollution discharge permits in your watershed.
The first two workshops will be held in Charleston on April 28, 2001 and in Hedgesville on May 19, 2001. Workshops
will also be scheduled for other locations around West Virginia. Please contact Evan Hansen to arrange a workshop
in your area.
Permits regulate the amount of pollution that industrial and municipal facilities can discharge to rivers and lakes.
Your participation in the permitting process is essential to ensure that permits account for local concerns and
strictly adhere to the Clean Water Act.
Workshops will include an overview of the Clean Water Act and the agencies that play a role in the permitting process.
They will also introduce several permits in your local watershed and will provide instructions for assessing permits
and participating in the permitting process.
Evan Hansen, director of the Permit Analysis Program, will lead the workshops. For the last year, Evan has been
researching West Virginia's permits and working with watershed organizations to promote involvement in the permitting
process.
The workshops are free, with lunch included. Registration is encouraged, but not required. To register, please
contact Evan Hansen at ehansen@downstreamstrategies.com or
304-291-8205, or contact West Virginia Rivers Coalition at 304-637-7201.
