The purposes of this chapter are to provide a framework for the administration, implementation and enforcement of the Virginia Stormwater Management Act (Act) and to delineate the procedures and requirements to be followed in connection with state permits issued by the department pursuant to the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and permits issued by a VSMP authority, while at the same time providing flexibility for innovative solutions to stormwater management issues. The chapter also establishes the department's procedures for the authorization of a VSMP, the department's procedures for approving the administration of a VSMP by a VSMP authority and department oversight authorities for a VSMP, and the required technical criteria for stormwater management for land-disturbing activities.
