MORGANTOWN-- 
A public meeting on a Monongalia County concrete batch plant has been set for 
June 9 at the Stewartstown Community Building.  The meeting will begin at 6 
p.m.      
    Staff from the West Virginia 
Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Air Quality will be on hand 
to discuss the Alcon, LLC. general permit registration application G50-B042, and 
to take comments 
from the public on the proposal.  The agency will 
consider written and oral comments on the permit modification before making a 
final permit decision.
    The general permit registration 
application to construct and operate a concrete batch plant in Morgantown, W.Va. 
was received April 6, 2005.  DAQ's preliminary evaluation of Alcon's 
application indicates that the 
proposed construction will meet all 
applicable air quality requirements. 
    All written comments 
on the proposed batch plant must be received by the close of the hearing on June 
9.  All comments received will be considered by the DAQ director in a final 
decision on the proposed construction.
    Copies of the 
general permit registration application are available for public review at the 
following addresses.
