Newsletter 2014-37 September 12, 2014 NEW STORAGE TANK GUIDELINES EASING INSPECTION RULES
State environmental regulators will allow people who are not registered professional engineers to inspect the majority of aboveground storage tanks in an attempt to allow owners to meet upcoming deadlines in the law passed after the Freedom Industries chemical leak. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin applauded the new system outlined in an “interpretive rule” from the state Department of Environmental Protection. He thanks the agency for creating a “risk assessment approach” to implementing the new law. “The proposed rule released today provides guidance to owners and operators of aboveground storage tanks for complying with two key parts of Senate Bill 373: inspection and certification of tanks, and spill prevention response plans,” Gov. Tomblin said Tuesday. “It protects the health and safety of all West Virginians, and our environment, from the risks of leaks of hazardous materials from aboveground storage tanks.” The DEP released its “interpretive rule” Tuesday concerning tank inspections and documents tank owners must submit through the new law. The rule creates a three-tiered system for tank classification that is intended to give guidance to tank owners while easing some inspection requirements ahead of December and January deadlines in the law. The rule requires professional engineers inspect tanks that pose “high risk of harm to public health”: the tanks might be located near public water sources, known in law as a zone of critical concern; contain “hazardous” materials; contain 5,000 gallons or more of anything or in some other way warrant more scrutiny in the eyes of the DEP. These tanks are regulated as “Level 1” tanks in the interpretive rule. Tanks that fall in the “Level 3” category hold water or food products and pose a limited threat to public safety, according to the rule. “Level 2” tanks fall somewhere in the middle: they don’t qualify for the most stringent inspection standard, but they still pose more risk to public health than tanks the fall in the last category. Tanks in the second two categories don’t need to be inspected by registered professional engineers. They can be inspected by engineers, but also by “the owner or operator of the (tank); or by any person designated by the owner or operator of the (tank),” according to the rule. Neither the law nor the interpretive rule describe any mechanism for how a tank owner would know which certifications qualify, or how they would know they need to submit certification from such programs to the DEP for approval before moving forward with an inspection. Tank owners have until Oct. 1 to register their tanks with the DEP. Right now there are about 7,000 tanks registered, but the DEP thinks that number could rise as high as 80,000. The DEP won’t know how many tanks fall into each category until then, but so far about 5 percent of those registered fall in zones of critical concern. Although legislative leaders called for a special session to change the law, Gov. Tomblin wanted to avoid delaying implementation of the bill. He told Secretary Huffman to create an administrative fix that could alleviate some of the short-term concerns with regulations in the bill. The interpretive is out 30 days for public comment and the DEP plans to host a public hearing to discuss the rule at its headquarters in the Kanawha City area of Charleston. The hearing will be at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 9. The CAWV met with Governor Tomblin and Secretary Huffman to discuss the construction industry’s concerns in meeting the original requirements of the bill. More information will be sent to members as it becomes available.
HOUSE PASSES BILL TO HALT ADMINISTRATION’S PROBLEMATIC WATER RULE
Earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5078, the Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act, by a vote of 262-152. This bill would halt the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) proposed rulemaking that redefines “waters of the U.S.” under the Clean Water Act (CWA). It would prevent the agencies from finalizing the rule and require that they consult with state and local governments to form recommendations for a consensus regulatory proposal. All of West Virginia’s delegation voted for the bill. Many CAWV contacted their representatives to vote for bill. The bill now moves to the Senate, where Sen. Roberts (R-Kansas) has already called on Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) to hold a vote on the House bill. However, the Senate is unlikely to do so, as Reid is reluctant to force Democrats to vote on an unpopular administration regulation just before the election. Additionally, the bill has drawn a veto threat from the president, meaning it will not become law even if passed by the Senate.
QUARRY RULES PASS RULE-MAKING REVIEW COMMITTEE The Rule-Making Review Committee Monday approved the safety rules for quarry operations. They now go to the full Legislature for consideration during the next legislative session. The rules culminate nearly 15 months of work by a task force of the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training and the West Virginia Crushed Aggregates Council. The rules will govern safety specifically for quarry operations. Currently, quarry operators work under modified coal operations safety regulations. "I thank all WVCAC members who spent months meeting and working on the proposed rules," said WVCAC Chairman Doug Canterbury, Boxley. "We couldn't have been successful without the efforts of WVMHS&T Director Eugene White, WVMHS&T Administrator Bill Turner and all the other agency officials who worked on the task force. This was truly a collaborative effort." The legislature still has to approve the rules but approval by the rule review committee is a positive sign that there is support for the proposed rules. Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, chairman of the Rule-Making Review Committee, complimented the agency and industry for their work on the rules, noting that “this is how rules should be developed, not by the legislature but by the affected entities.”
MEMBERSHIP AND PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEES MEETING – SEPTEMBER 17
Chairpersons Scott Pierson of the CAWV Membership Committee and Kim Ridenhour of the CAWV Public Relations Committee have called a joint meeting on Wednesday, September 17, at 10:00 a.m. at the CAWV headquarters. An agenda will be sent to the committee prior to the meeting.
TRUCK ENFORCEMENT PATROLS TO BE STEPPED UP
CAWV members who run trucks over the road should be note there will be a greater presence of truck enforcement patrols in the months ahead. The West Virginia Public Service Commission received a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to increase safety patrols on the state’s highways, especially in areas where there is a higher incidence of commercial truck accidents. The grant allows the PSC to pay overtime which means they will patrol more hours of the day and on weekends. Enforcement officers will do an increased number of spot safety checks on commercial trucks, PSC officials note. CAWV members have already been notified that weight enforcement, especially as it relates to the federal bridge formula, will be monitored closely.

SEPTEMBER 16 OCTOBER 7 DECEMBER 9

BUILDING 3 AT CAPITOL COMPLEX TO BE REBID State officials have revived a project to renovate Building 3 at the Capitol Complex. The renovation was put on the back burner after a bid opening in 2011 came in more than $6 million over the project’s $27 million budget. The Department of Administration began a redesign of the project in January. Administration Secretary Ross Taylor says the project should go out to bid early next year and be completed in late 2016. The eight-story structure is known as the DMV building because the Division of Motor Vehicles formerly was located there for several decades. Secretary Taylor says first floor’s marble lobby and former DMV customer service windows will be preserved. WV NEEDS $25 MILLION TO BUILD NEW VETS NURSING HOME The West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance secretary says the state needs to chip in about $25 million to build a 120-bed veterans nursing home in Raleigh County. A law passed last legislative session authorized the new facility in Beckley. Secretary Rick Thompson told a state legislative panel this week the law didn’t provide money to build it. Thompson said if the state covers 35 percent of construction costs, the federal government will cover the rest. He said he doesn’t think all the money needs to be available upfront to get on a federal waiting list. The law allows the agriculture commissioner to transfer 17 acres next to the Jackie Withrow Hospital to Veterans Assistance for the new facility. The only existing state-run veterans nursing home is in Clarksburg.

WHAT IS CONFINED SPACE?
A confined space does not necessarily mean a small, enclosed space. It could be rather large, such as a ship's hold, a fuel tank or a pit.
One of the first defining features of a confined space is it's large enough to allow an employee to enter and perform work. The second defining feature is it has limited means of entry or exit. Entry may be obtained through small or large openings and usually there is only one way in and out. The third defining feature is that confined spaces are not used for continuous or routine work.
All confined spaces are categorized into two main groups: non-permit and permit-required. Permit-required confined spaces must have signs posted outside stating that entry requires a permit. In general, these spaces contain serious health and safety threats including:
Oxygen-deficient atmospheres Flammable atmospheres Toxic atmospheres Mechanical or physical hazards Loose materials that can engulf or smother
Although the danger in a confined space is obvious, the type of danger often is not. For example, a confined space with sufficient oxygen might become an oxygen-deficient space once a worker begins welding or performing other tasks.
These are some of the reasons confined spaces are hazardous:
Lack of adequate ventilation can cause the atmosphere to become life threatening because of harmful gases.
The oxygen content of the air can drop below the level required for human life. Sometimes a confined space is deliberately filled with nitrogen as a fire prevention
technique. Nitrogen cannot sustain human life, so you must use respiratory protection. Many gases are explosive and can be set off by a spark. Even dust is an explosion hazard in a confined space. Finely-ground materials such as
grain, fibers and plastics can explode upon ignition. Confined spaces often have physical hazards, such as moving equipment and
machinery. Tanks and other enclosed confined spaces can be filled with materials unless the flow
process for filling it is controlled.
Before entering any confined space you must test the atmosphere to determine if any harmful gases are present. There must also be radio contact with an attendant outside the confined space and a rescue team at the ready in case of an emergency.
Contact the CAWV at (304) 342-1166 for assistance with the safety program.

GOVERNOR TOMBLIN ANNOUNCES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION GRANTS Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced on Monday recommendations for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Investment Program grants. The 11 recommended projects total more than $4.3 million in grant funding. “From public water systems to education and workforce development, the projects I’ve recommended for funding all help foster statewide economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for all West Virginians,” Gov. Tomblin said. “I’m grateful for the ARC’s continued commitment, as well as the dedication shown by our federal and local partners, and I’m proud of our state’s continued support of projects that strengthen the foundation of what makes West Virginia such a wonderful place to call home.” Infrastructure projects recommended for ARC funding include:
Pleasant Hill Public Service District Leaf Bank Run, Upper Back Fork, Leading Creek Water Extension; $932,000 The project will replace existing water line and extend public water service to the communities of Leaf Bank, Upper Back Fork and Leading Creek in Calhoun County. Currently, customers in the project area are served by private wells that are unreliable or provide a substandard quality of water. The project will serve 37 new customers and 150 existing customers for a total of 187 customers. Gilmer County Public Service District Route 5 and Hattie Road Water Extension; $390,000 The project will extend public water service to areas along Route 5 and Hattie Road in Gilmer and Calhoun counties. Currently, customers rely upon private wells that are unreliable and empty during drier months of the year. The project will serve 23 new customers and support education and job training through providing public water service to the Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center. Clay-Roane Public Service District Amma Industrial Park Water Extension; $416,000 The project will extend public water service to the Amma Industrial Park in southern Roane County. The project will serve three commercial customers currently located in the park and assist in attracting additional commercial or industrial expansion in the future. West Virginia Development Office Competitive Improvement Program; $200,000 The project will provide training and consultation services to small- and medium-sized firms in West Virginia to increase their competitiveness. The project will address a unique need for which no other funding sources are available. The results of these services will be a great number of companies that are increasing the range of their market and market share, and a commensurate increase in the number of jobs retained or created. Crum Public Service District Route 152 Phase II Water Extension; $1,500,000 The project will extend water service to the communities of West Fork of Twelvepole Creek, Big Branch, Licking Branch and Ferguson Branch in southern Wayne County. Currently, the customers in the project area rely upon private wells that produce unreliable quantity or poor quality. The project will serve 165 new customers, including an elementary school.

NEW RIVER PARKWAYS PROJECT RECEIVES $10 MILLION TIGER GRANT
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced that the Department of Transportation would provide $600 million for 72 transportation projects in 46 states and the District of Columbia from its TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) 2014 program. The WV Department of Transportation was awarded a $10 million rural grant for the New River Parkways construction project. Kentucky was awarded a $24 million grant for a 2.4 mile Mountain Parkway Extension project for the easternmost end at U.S. 460 and KY 114 in Salyersville.
The Department received 797 eligible applications from 49 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia, an increase from the 585 applications received in 2013. Overall, applicants requested 15 times the $600 million available for the program, or $9 billion for needed transportation projects.
“As uncertainty about the future of long-term federal funding continues, this round of TIGER will be a shot in the arm for these innovative, job-creating and quality of life-enhancing projects,” said Secretary Foxx. “We're building bridges from Maine to Mississippi. We're creating ladders of opportunity for the middle-class and those seeking to enter the middle-class by investing in transit, road and rail projects from Los Angeles to Detroit to New York City, increasing access to jobs and quality of life. For every project we select, however, we must turn dozens more away – projects that could be getting done if Congress passed the GROW AMERICA Act, which would double the funding available for TIGER and growing the number of projects we could support.”
WEST VIRGINIA PROVEN DEADLIEST PLACE TO DRIVE IN U.S.
Michael Sivak, a research professor from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, has proven that national traffic fatality rates per 1 billion miles driven are highest in West Virginia. Primary measures used in the report were fatality rate per distance driven and fatality rate per population. South Carolina ranked second. Based on fatality rates per 100,000 people, West Virginia ranks 7th in the nation with North Dakota ranking 1st.
“Although the deadliest and safest locations in the country vary slightly based on population and distance driven, it’s clearer that the District of Columbia and Massachusetts are safer than everywhere else,” the report concludes. “On the other hand, it’s clear that West Virginia and South Carolina are two of the most dangerous places to drive.” Sivak states that improving transportation and a long-term solution to the Highway Trust Fund are crucial for reducing traffic fatalities nationwide.
