| Purpose of the meeting A public hearing to receive comment on a draft VPDES permit for Appalachian Power Company Clinch River Plant. Appalachian Power Company has applied for reissuance of a permit for the Clinch River Plant. The applicant proposes to release treated industrial wastewater, sanitary wastewater, and stormwater into state waters. The reissuance addresses additional industrial wastewater and stormwater discharges associated with the closure of the facility's ash ponds pursuant to a 2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Rule that regulates the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR). The facility proposes to release the treated industrial wastewater, sanitary wastewater, and stormwater into the Clinch River and Dumps Creek in Russell County in the Clinch River watershed. A watershed is the land area drained by a river and its incoming streams. DEQ accepts comments by hand delivery, e-mail, fax or postal mail. All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Submittals must include the names, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the commenter/requester and of all persons represented by the commenter/requester. The Board will also accept written and oral comments at the public hearing. To make a statement at a public hearing, write your name on a sign-up sheet available before the hearing.
