I support Shenandoah Riverkeeper and Potomac Riverkeeper’s efforts to change the Construction General Permit so that Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and make them available to the public for every constructions site in the Commonwealth.

As a resident of VA I have personally seen the effects of sediment in the body of water I live on and enjoy fishing and boating in.  The Commonwealth of Virginia must do more to protect streams that are already impaired from additional damage which is caused by sediment running off construction sites. The state must not delay another 5 years when this permit would be up for renewal again
