| Purpose of the meeting SUBJECT: Pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act as amended and the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and attendant regulations, the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board is considering the reissuance of a Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Individual Permit for Stormwater Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) owned and operated by Arlington County. The purpose of this notice is to seek public comment and announce a public hearing on the draft individual permit that will allow the release of stormwater from this MS4 into water bodies in or adjacent to the locality. SUBSTANCE: Arlington County has applied for reissuance of an MS4 permit for the discharge of stormwater into multiple water bodies in the Potomac River Watershed. An MS4 is a system of conveyances that is owned by a public entity and is used and/or designed to collect and discharge stormwater to surface waters. A watershed is the land area drained by a river and its incoming streams. The draft permit establishes requirements for control of MS4 stormwater discharges through the development, implementation, and enforcement of an MS4 program to reduce the impacts of the stormwater discharges on the receiving streams. The draft permit requires the permittee to evaluate program compliance, the appropriateness of identified BMP's, progress towards achieving the identified measurable goals, and to submit annual reports. The draft permit also requires the operator to address Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Wasteload Allocations, including those associated with the Chesapeake Bay TMDL, assigned to the permittee and contains other conditions governing the development, implementation, A public hearing to receive comments on the draft individual permit will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 22, 2013 at the Arlington County Government Office Building, 2100 Clarendon Blvd., Room 109, Arlington, VA 22201. Reasonable limits may be set upon the time allowed for oral statements. The submission of statements in writing is encouraged. The draft permit, draft fact sheet, and public notice information are available at: http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/laws_and_regulations/lr3c.shtml | |
