Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

A “common plan of development or sale” (CPOD) is defined in the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management (VESM) Regulation as a “contiguous area where separate and distinct construction activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules.” The purpose of this guidance memorandum is to 1) provide clarification where the Department of Environmental Quality is the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) or Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program (VESMP) Authority on the legal authority, application, and interpretation of “common plan of development or sale” 2) to assist in the determination of when a CGP is required and when an agreement in lieu of a plan may be used; and 3) provide scenarios that demonstrate this information where DEQ is the VSMP or VESMP Authority.
