Title	Implementation Guidance for the 2009 General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities, 9VAC25-880
Document ID	GM14-2002
Summary	Under the 2009 General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities (9VAC25-880) the development of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) is required prior to the submission of a registration statement. The SWPPP requirements of the general permit may be fulfilled by incorporating by reference an erosion and sediment control plan or an agreement in lieu or a plan. If an erosion and sediment control plan is incorporated by reference the plan must be approved by the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Program (VESCP) authority prior to the commencement of land disturbance. The purpose of this guidance document is to clarify that erosion and sediment control plan approval is not required prior to submitting a registration statement for coverage under the 2009 general permit.
