About this file

This is a General Permit Registration approval letter issued by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), Division of Water and Waste Management, authorizing the Office of Abandoned Mine Lands & Reclamation to operate under General Permit No. WV0115924 for stormwater discharge associated with construction activities on the Fords Run Drainage Project in Barbour County. The project permits the disturbance of 29.30 acres. The permittee, Troy H. Schell, PE, Northern Design Administrator, is authorized to discharge stormwater and must maintain a complete Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) on-site and available for regulatory review. The registration became effective January 18, 2023, and will expire at the end of the General Permit term, with provisions for extension if additional time is needed for compliance. The permittee is required to conduct frequent inspections to ensure erosion control measures remain in proper condition and must immediately correct any impairment to their designed function. If the SWPPP proves ineffective or site conditions change, the permittee must amend the plan and install appropriate sediment and control devices accordingly.

The permit is contingent upon annual permit fee payments due one month prior to each anniversary date, with failure to submit payment within 90 days of the due date rendering the permit void. Final stabilization of disturbed areas must include approved permanent protection such as pavement, compacted gravel, buildings, stable waterways, riprap, concrete, grass, or pipe, or a healthy stand of perennial grass covering at least 70 percent of ground area. The issuance of this registration does not authorize injury to persons or property, invasion of private rights, or infringement of federal, state, or local law. Contact information for permit administration inquiries is provided through Justin M. Painter at the WVDEP Division of Water & Waste Management.
