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.
