Comment on Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Permit Regulations (4VAC50-60)

Dear Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board members,

The officers of the Commonwealth, while providing critical technical review, cannot see all. Concerned citizen's groups and individuals are likely to have a much broader perspective and (also) have a legitimate role in ensuring that erosion and sediment controls are up to par. I urge that the proposed regulation be changed to reflect this role:

1. Operators with day-to-day operational control over SWPPP implementation shall have a copy of the SWPPP available at a central location on-site for use by those identified as having responsibilities under the SWPPP or concerned members of the public whenever they are on the construction site. The documents should also be posted and indexed online.

Sincerely yours,
