Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

This guidance document provides direction for evaluating noncompliance with the General Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities (9 VAC 25-880), the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Regulation (9 VAC 25-875) and the State Water Control Law (Va. Code § 62.1-44.2 et seq.) and provides a point system for determining the appropriate compliance response, including when to refer cases to the Division of Enforcement. The point system allows the Virgnia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Stormwater Compliance staff to consistently assess and respond to alleged noncompliance. This amendment revises and reissues DEQ Guidance Memo No. 18-2012.
