Description

Stormwater regulations.  Delays the effective date of stormwater regulations establishing local program criteria and delegation procedures and the water quality and water quantity criteria until July 1, 2011. The bill also requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Quality, to determine the effect the total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocation for the Chesapeake Bay may have on these regulations. If the agency finds that the TMDL implementation plan approved by the Environmental Protection Agency requires a change in the criteria, the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board is to adopt a new regulation that is consistent with the source allocations made in the approved TMDL plan.   View Full Text »
