Action Summary The purpose of this regulatory action is to consider amendments to the applicable portions of the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board’s Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Permit Regulations in order to develop a new General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities. Regulations developed under the federal Clean Water Act (33 USC §1251 et seq.) and §10.1-603.1 et seq. of the Code of Virginia require that VSMP permits be effective for a fixed term not to exceed five years (§10.1-603.2:2 (B)). The existing 5-year General Permit was issued on July 1, 2004 thus necessitating the promulgation of a new General Permit by the June 30, 2009 expiration date.
