About this file

This document is a General Permit Registration issued by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), specifically from the Division of Water and Waste Management and Office of Abandoned Mine Lands & Reclamation, for the Valley Camp Mine Facilities project in Ohio County. The permit (No. WV0115924) authorizes stormwater discharge associated with construction activities on 3.35 acres, with the permit valid from December 12, 2024, until December 12, 2025. The permittee must develop and maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), implement and inspect erosion control measures, and ensure final stabilization of disturbed areas using methods such as pavement, compacted gravel, permanent grass coverage, or other approved stabilization techniques.

The permit requires annual fee payments, with invoicing occurring one month prior to the anniversary date, and failure to submit fees within 90 days will result in permit voiding. The document emphasizes environmental protection, requiring the permittee to prevent degradation of natural resources and immediately correct any identified impairments in erosion control measures. Contact for questions is Emily Bumgarner at (304) 926-0499 ext. 41213 or Emily.E.Bumgarner@wv.gov. The permit explicitly states that it does not authorize injury to persons or property, invasion of private rights, or infringement of federal, state, or local laws, and its validity is contingent upon payment of the applicable annual permit fee.

Re: General Permit Registration No.

WVR112811, Ohio Co.

Valley Camp Mine Facilities, Acres to be disturbed (3.35)

Dear Permittee:

You are now authorized to operate under General Permit No. WV0115924 to discharge stormwater associated with construction activities. This registration form should be kept with your copy of the General Permit. You should carefully read the contents of the permit and become familiar with all requirements needed to remain in compliance.

Although you should be aware of all the terms and conditions of this permit, we wish to advise you of the following important requirements:

1. In accordance with Section II.H. of the General Permit, you have developed a complete Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. This plan is to be retained on site and be available for review by the Director or the Director's authorized representative as of the date of your coverage by the General Permit, which is the date of this letter.

2. The erosion control measures approved by this Agency for this project shall be maintained in proper condition to individually and collectively perform the functions for which they were designed. In order to ensure the efficiency and proper maintenance of these measures, the permittee shall make sufficiently frequent, periodic inspections to detect any impairment of the designed stability, capacity, or environmental requirements of the approved measures. The permittee shall take immediate steps to correct any such impairment found to exist.

Promoting a healthy environment.

3. If this Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) proves to be ineffective in controlling erosion and the sediment in storm water discharges associated with industrial/construction activities, or site conditions change, the Permittee shall amend the SWPPP and install appropriate sediment and/or control devices in accordance with Section II.H. of this permit and the application instructions.

4. Final stabilization means disturbed areas shall be covered by the appropriate permanent protection. Final stabilization includes: pavement; compacted gravel; permeable pavement/pavers;

buildings; stable waterways (riprap, concrete, grass or pipe); a healthy, vigorous stand of perennial grass that uniformly covers at least 70 percent of the ground; stable outlet channels with velocity dissipation which directs site runoff to a natural watercourse; and any other approved structure or material.

You will be invoiced for your annual permit fees one month prior to the anniversary date of today's date.

Failure to submit the annual fee within 90 days of the due date will render your permit void upon the date you are mailed a certified written notice to that effect.

This project has not been sent to public notice and will expire on 12/12/2025.

Issuance of this registration does not authorize any injury to persons or property or invasion of other private rights, or any infringement of federal, state, or local law or rules.

The validity of this General Permit Registration is contingent upon payment of the applicable annual permit fee, as required by Chapter 22, Article 11, Section 10 of the Code of West Virginia.

Your efforts toward preventing the degradation of our natural resources are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact Emily Bumgarner at (304) 926-0499 ext. 41213 or by email at Emily.E.Bumgarner@wv.gov
