Construction runoff management and permit
 
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!
