Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

During the 2015 session, the Virginia General Assembly amended Chapter 22 of the Code of Virginia by adding § 62.1-229.5. The code section further expanded the activities of the Virginia Water Facilities Revolving Fund (the Fund) by allowing the State Water Control Board (Board) to authorize low interest loans from the Fund to a local government for establishing living shorelines or to a local government that has developed a funding program to individual citizens for the purpose of establishing living shorelines to protect or improve water quality. In the 2019 session, the code section was expanded to include small businesses as eligible applicants for funds from a local government that has developed a funding program for the purpose of establishing living shorelines to protect or improve water quality. The Department has updated the Program Guidelines to incorporate these code changes. If you have any questions on these guidelines, please contact Karen Doran, DEQ, at (804) 698-4133.
