Permitting

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) serves as a regulatory body dedicated to safeguarding the air, land, and water of our state. To fulfill this mission, the Lincoln County Health Department and the WVDEP issue permits that help maintain the environmental health, integrity, and beauty of West Virginia.

The WVDEP grants permits for various facilities and activities, ensuring emissions into the air, water, and soil remain within acceptable limits.
