West Virginia towns push back against air permits for chemical firm

Kanawha County residents are pushing back against a West Virginia industrial chemical company seeking state regulators' approval for two air permit requests. Ryan Kirkpatrick, climate and utility organizer for the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, said the company is asking the state to modify its existing permits to loosen emissions regulations at its facility in Dunbar-Institute, outside of Charleston. Union Carbide claimed the modified permits will not increase chemical emissions but residents disagree. "They're saying, 'Hey, we're not producing as much as we possibly could, so I feel like you guys should be a little bit less stringent on the regulations, the monitoring,'" Kirkpatrick asserted. Kirkpatrick explained residents are concerned about the effects of increased ethylene oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.

"Every house has someone who's either passed away with breast or lung cancer or testicular cancer. Those are like really, really common," Kirkpatrick observed. An activist told West Virginia regulators at a public

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (The Hinton News) - Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that the West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council would be assisting the John D. Rockefeller Industrial Park in Wyoming County, allowing manufacturer Oceanetics to more than double its workforce with 25 new full-time jobs. “West Virginia has the skilled workforce and resources to attract manufacturers that are creating good-paying jobs right here in our state,” said Governor Morrisey. “This investment will help Oceanetics expand its operations, create new opportunities for families in Wyoming County, and strengthen Southern West Virginia's growing manufacturing economy.
