Lack of transparency in proposed General Permit
 

I've read the Agency Background Document. Stormwater runoff appears to be the greatest single contributor to degradation of surface waters in Virginia.  I'm appalled at the lack of transparency proposed for the next General Permit & the "fox guarding the henhouse" aspects of the inspection/reporting procedure. The public must be able to review such documents in order to remain aware of what's being done, how, and where.
