Last week, Monongalia County Circuit Judge Russell Clawges Jr. ruled that all of the agencies involved in the payment in lieu of taxes agreement negotiated for the Longview project followed the law. An air-quality permit for the plant has been received from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, along with a conditional site permit from the state's Public Service Commission. Longview plans to file supplemental information for the site permit and an application for a site permit for transmission lines later this month with the West Virginia Public Service Commission.
