30-day Public Comment Period on Final Stormwater Regulations (October 26 through November 25, 2009): Public Comment Process and Materials

On October 5, 2009, the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board adopted revisions to the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Permit Regulations Parts I, II, and III and Part XIII (4 VAC 50-60), and then suspended the effective date of these regulatory actions under § 2.2-4015 A 4 of the Virginia Administrative Process Act to allow time for a 30-day public review and comment period on changes made since the original proposed regulations were approved on September 24, 2008. The Board is receiving comment only on the changes that were made between the proposed regulations and the final regulations adopted by the Board on October 5, 2009. These changes are shown in brackets “[ ]” in the final version of the regulations attached below.
