1 I support Shenandoah Riverkeeper and Potomac Riverkeeper's efforts to change the Construction General Permit so that Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) are made available to the public for every construction site in the Commonwealth 2. I want the Commonwealth of Virginia to do more to protect streams that are already "impaired" from additional damage which would be caused by sediment running off construction sites and to take these steps now, rather than wait another five years for the next permit renewal 3 I am a frequent paddler of VA and MD rivers and due to the water polution since I have been paddling, I now get one to two ear, eye or sinus infections per year. Anything you can do to help keep the rivers and tributaries cleaner will help and is greatly appreciated. When you live IN/ON the rivers and not simply look at them from a distance your perspective changes and the rivers polution levels have an immediate impact on the regular users. We know the importance of having clean water. Please do what you can. Thank you for listening! Thomas Verratti, President Constructive Change and Coaching Center
