RE: Appeal No. 10-03-AQB, WV Air Quality Board (AQB), October 13, 2010.
This Appeal involves Construction Permits R13-2829 and R13-2831, for Compressor Stations named the Pleasants Compressor Station and the Miller Compressor Station, both near the border of Marshall and Wetzel Counties in West Virginia. (This border is equivalent to the extended Mason-Dixon line, i.e. the extended southern border of Pennsylvania, directly west of Monongalia County, WV).
This appeal also relates to the existing Victory Compressor Station and to the natural gas wells in Wetzel and Marshall Counties, as well as to a "Central Delivery Point" ("CDP") proposed by the Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corporation.
This Appeal 10-03-AQB asserts that (1) "the Miller, Pleasants, and CDP sites must be aggregated and considered a single stationary source for air permitting purposes", and (2) "the WV Division of Air Quality must include well sites and process equipment in its major source determination for the compressor stations." [This summary prepared February 23, 2011 by Duane Nichols, MVCAC.]

NOTE: The Appellant is William J. Hughes of Wetzel County. The Appellee is the Director of the WV Division of Air Quality. An Intervenor is: Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC.
It is proposed that Duane G. Nichols and the Mon Valley Clean Air Coalition join the Appeal as additional Appellants, given that Monongalia County is also at risk from the air pollution involved.
This Appeal 10-03-AQB is scheduled for an Evidentiary Hearing before the WV Air Quality Board on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 in Charleston, WV. You can read about the Appeal Process at: www.wvaqb.org
