Guidance Document Change: The Office of Drinking Water (ODW) is developing technical manuals to replace Working Memos and provide guidance on the Virginia Waterworks Regulations. The Project Review & Permit Procedures Manual provides consolidated guidance on the project review program and permit procedures administered by ODW as authorized in the Waterworks Regulations. It does not replace the requirements of the Waterworks Regulations. It includes updates to previous guidance related to ODW’s project review program and procedures for issuing construction permits, operation permits, temporary permits, and general permits for waterworks. The Project Review & Permit Procedures Manual also includes new guidance on the process to invalidate a permit, as opposed to revoking a permit when conditions exist that do not fall within those listed in Code of Virginia § 32.1-174, and to amend a permit when there is a change in ownership of a waterworks. The Project Review & Permit Procedures Manual replaces Working Memo (WM) 784(W), Project Review and Permit Procedures.
