MORGANTOWN — The state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is
asking Monongalia County Circuit Court to assess $25,000 per day penalties
against a Morgantown developer for alleged environmental violations at a Cheat
Lake-area industrial park.
DEP’s Division of Water and Waste Management filed the “complaint for
enforcement” Thursday, May 22. It issued 12 notices of violation (NOVs) from
Sept. 16, 2010, through May 9, 2013, to defendant LPG Land & Development
Corp., based on Fairchance Road (Monongalia County 857).
Paul Panson is LPG’s president. The 18-acre industrial park is sited
between Fairchance and the Mon-Fayette Expressway, just north of the Interstate
68 and Mon-Fayette interchange.
An LPG representative said Thursday that management hadn’t seen the
complaint yet and couldn’t comment.
