Description

Wastewater discharge permits.  Establishes procedures that the State Water Control Board should follow in determining whether to issue a Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination permit for a treatment facility that is proposing to discharge sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes of 40,000 gallons or less per day into waters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In the case of these proposed small wastewater facilities, for a permit application to be considered complete, it has to include an economic and environmental analysis of various alternatives to the construction of a new facility, such as land application, connection to existing facility, or "pump and haul." If the State Water Control Board determines that the various alternatives are not feasible, then the Board may issue a permit. However, if an alternative to constructing a facility is found to be effective in handling the waste stream, the Board would not issue a permit. Read the Bill »
