Manchin Says DEP Permit Not Under Review
Staff
MetroNews Talkline
Governor Joe Manchin says representatives of a number of state
agencies will meet Thursday to discuss the future of Marsh Fork
Elementary School.
Manchin says the DHHR and DEP will talk about recent developments at
a mining operation near the school. The DEP has approved a permit
for a silo at Goals Coal, just a few hundred feet away from the
building.
The governor sent his lead attorney to Raleigh County Wednesday to
meet with local and state school officials to see if there's any
other building that could house the school. Thursday's meeting with
state agencies will take place in Charleston.
Manchin says he won't tell the DEP how to do its job. He says if the
agency followed the permitting process, the decision should stand.
Governor Manchin says what is appropriate for him to do is to make
sure the citizens and children are in the safest environment they
can be.
