Notice of Comment Period
West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection

This mailing is to advise the public that we have received an application for modification of an Article 11/West Virginia National Pollutant Discharge Elimination permit WV0064840 for RAMACO RESOURCES, LLC, 250 W MAIN ST STE 210, LEXINGTON, KY 40507, in order to addition of outlet 016. Outlet 016 (Pond No. 13) is being added just as a precaution in case there is a rainfall event during a time when the settling ponds have not had time for the slurry to settle and the water to be pumped back to the plant.

The permit is located in Logan County, *** No Lat/Long Data *** (Coordinates from USGS Topographic Map).  The operation will discharge into ELK CK of GUYANDOTTE RV of OHIO RV.

The Department of Environmental Protection is seeking information on private surface water intakes for human consumption located in the above listed receiving streams and located down stream of this operation.  Please provide your name, phone number, mailing address, the name of the stream with the intake, and the physical location of the intake.  This information needs to be submitted to the address below. 

An anti-degradation review has been conducted.  Tier 1 protection is afforded because effluent limitations ensure compliance with water quality criteria for all designated uses.  Where applicable, Tier 2 protection is also afforded because the agency has made a determination that the discharge(s) will not cause significant degradation to the receiving stream(s) for any parameters of concern.
  
Please send any comments on the draft permit to the address below, postmarked on or before May 2, 2018 or thirty days from the date of publication, and reference the Article 11/WVNPDES permit number shown above.  A copy of the application, draft permit and fact sheet (if required) will be available for inspection and obtaining copies during normal business hours at the DEP Regional Office located at the address below.  Comments may include a request for a public hearing.  If a hearing is requested the comment must state the nature of the issues proposed to be raised in the hearing.  A hearing may be held if DEP finds a significant degree of public interest, or if the hearing would clarify issues.
