APPEALING THE BOARD'S FINAL ORDER:

After the Board enters a Final Order in the Appeal, any party may appeal such order as prescribed in W. Va. Code §22B-2-3. This appeal must be filed within thirty days of your receipt of the Board’s Final Order.

As to cases involving an order denying an application for a permit, or approving or modifying the terms and conditions of a permit, the petition for review shall be filed in the Supreme Court of Appeals within 30 days of the Board’s order: Provided that, if all parties consent to it, the proceedings may continue in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County.

As to all other cases, the petition shall be filed in the Circuit Court of the county wherein the alleged statutory air pollution complained of originated or in Kanawha County upon agreement between parties.
