PART I
DISCHARGE AUTHORIZATION AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. Coverage under this general permit.
1. During the period beginning with the date of coverage under this general permit and lasting until the
general permits expiration date, the operator is authorized to discharge stormwater from construction
activities.
2. This general permit also authorizes stormwater discharges from support activities (e.g., concrete or
asphalt batch plants, equipment staging yards, material storage areas, excavated material disposal
areas, borrow areas) located on-site or off-site provided that:
a. The support activity is directly related to the construction activity that is required to have general
permit coverage for discharges of stormwater from construction activities;
b. The support activity is not a commercial operation, nor does it serve multiple unrelated
construction activities by different operators;
c. The support activity does not operate beyond the completion of the last construction activity it
supports;
d. The support activity is identified in the registration statement at the time of general permit
coverage;
e. Appropriate control measures are identified in a stormwater pollution prevention plan and
implemented to address the discharges from the support activity areas; and
f. All applicable state, federal, and local approvals are obtained for the support activity.
B. Limitations on coverage.
1. Post-construction discharges. This general permit does not authorize stormwater discharges that
originate from the site after construction activities have been completed and the site, including any
support activity sites covered under the general permit registration, has undergone final stabilization.
Post-construction industrial stormwater discharges may need to be covered by a separate VPDES
permit.
2. Discharges mixed with nonstormwater. This general permit does not authorize discharges that are
mixed with sources of nonstormwater, other than those discharges that are identified in Part I E
(Authorized nonstormwater discharges) and are in compliance with this general permit.
3. Discharges covered by another state permit. This general permit does not authorize discharges of
stormwater from construction activities that have been covered under an individual permit or required
to obtain coverage under an alternative general permit.
4. Impaired waters and TMDL limitation. Discharges of stormwater from construction activities to surface
waters identified as impaired in the 2012 § 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated
Report or for which a TMDL wasteload allocation has been established and approved prior to the
term of this general permit for (i) sediment or a sediment-related parameter (i.e., total suspended
solids or turbidity) or (ii) nutrients (i.e., nitrogen or phosphorus) are not eligible for coverage under this
general permit unless the operator develops, implements, and maintains a SWPPP that minimizes
the pollutants of concern and, when applicable, is consistent with the assumptions and requirements
of the approved TMDL wasteload allocations. In addition, the operator shall implement the following
items:
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 2 of 21
a. The impaired water(s), approved TMDL(s), and pollutant(s) of concern, when applicable, shall be
identified in the SWPPP;
b. Permanent or temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to denuded areas within seven days
after final grade is reached on any portion of the site;
c. Nutrients shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations or an approved
nutrient management plan and shall not be applied during rainfall events; and
d. The applicable SWPPP inspection requirements specified in Part II F 2 shall be amended as
follows:
(1) Inspections shall be conducted at a frequency of(i) at least once every four business days or
(ii) at least once every five business days and no later than 48 hours following a measurable
storm event. In the event that a measurable storm event occurs when there are more than 48
hours between business days, the inspection shall be conducted on the next business day;
and
(2) Representative inspections used by utility line installation, pipeline construction, or other
similar linear construction activities shall inspect all outfalls discharging to surface waters
identified as impaired or for which a TMDL wasteload allocation has been established and
approved prior to the term of this general permit.
5. Exceptional waters limitation. Discharges of stormwater from construction activities not previously
covered under the general permit issued in 2009 to exceptional waters identified in 9VAC25-260-30 A
3 c are not eligible for coverage under this general permit unless the operator implements the
following:
a. The exceptional water(s)shall be identified in the SWPPP;
b. Permanent or temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to denuded areas within seven days
after final grade is reached on any portion of the site;
c. Nutrients shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations or an approved
nutrient management plan and shall not be applied during rainfall events; and
d. The applicable SWPPP inspection requirements specified in Part II F 2 shall be amended as
follows:
(1) Inspections shall be conducted at a frequency of(i) at least once every four business days or
(ii) at least once every five business days and no later than 48 hours following a measurable
storm event. In the event that a measurable storm event occurs when there are more than 48
hours between business days, the inspection shall be conducted on the next business day;
and
(2) Representative inspections used by utility line installation, pipeline construction, or other
similar linear construction activities shall inspect all outfalls discharging to exceptional waters.
6. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
C. Commingled discharges. Discharges authorized by this general permit may be commingled with other
sources of stormwater that are not required to be covered under a state permit, so long as the
commingled discharge is in compliance with this general permit. Discharges authorized by a separate
state or VPDES permit may be commingled with discharges authorized by this general permit so long as
all such discharges comply with all applicable state and VPDES permit requirements.
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 3 of 21

PART II
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
A stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) shall be developed prior to the submission of a
registration statement and implemented for the construction activity, including any support activity,
covered by this general permit. SWPPPs shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering
practices. Construction activities that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale and disturb
less than one acre may utilize a SWPPP template provided by the department and need not provide a
separate stormwater management plan if one has been prepared and implemented for the larger
common plan of development or sale.
The SWPPP requirements of this general permit may be fulfilled by incorporating by reference other plans
such as a spill prevention control and countermeasure (SPCC) plan developed for the site under§ 311 of
the federal Clean Water Act or best management practices (BMP) programs otherwise required for the
facility provided that the incorporated plan meets or exceeds the SWPPP requirements of Part II A. All
plans incorporated by reference into the SWPPP become enforceable under this general permit. If a plan
incorporated by reference does not contain all of the required elements of the SWPPP, the operator must
develop the missing elements and include them in the SWPPP.
Any operator that was authorized to discharge under the general permit issued in 2009, and that intends
to continue coverage under this general permit, shall update its stormwater pollution prevention plan to
comply with the requirements of this general permit no later than 60 days after the date of coverage under
this general permit.
A. Stormwater pollution prevention plan contents. The SWPPP shall include the following items:
1. General information.
a. A signed copy of the registration statement, if required, for coverage under the general VPDES
permit for discharges of stormwater from construction activities;
b. Upon receipt, a copy of the notice of coverage under the general VPDES permit for discharges of
stormwater from construction activities (i.e., notice of coverage letter);
c. Upon receipt, a copy of the general VPDES permit for discharges of stormwater from construction
activities;
d. A narrative description of the nature of the construction activity, including the function of the
project (e.g., low density residential, shopping mall, highway, etc.);
e. A legible site plan identifying:
(1) Directions of stormwater flow and approximate slopes anticipated after major grading
activities;
(2) Limits of land disturbance including steep slopes and natural buffers around surface waters
that will not be disturbed;
(3) Locations of major structural and nonstructural control measures, including sediment basins
and traps, perimeter dikes, sediment barriers, and other measures intended to filter, settle, or
similarly treat sediment, that will be installed between disturbed areas and the undisturbed
vegetated areas in order to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater infiltration;
(4) Locations of surface waters;
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 6 of 21
(5) Locations where concentrated stormwater is discharged;
(6) Locations of support activities, when applicable and when required by the VSMP authority,
including but not limited to (i) areas where equipment and vehicle washing, wheel wash
water, and other wash water is to occur; (ii) storage areas for chemicals such as acids, fuels,
fertilizers, and other lawn care chemicals; (iii) concrete wash out areas; (iv) vehicle fueling
and maintenance areas; (v) sanitary waste facilities, including those temporarily placed on
the construction site; and (vi)construction waste storage; and
(7) When applicable, the location of the on-site rain gauge or the methodology established in
consultation with the VSMP authority used to identify measurable storm events for inspection
purposes.
2. Erosion and sediment control plan.
a. An erosion and sediment control plan approved by the VESCP authority as authorized under the
Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations (9VAC25-840), an "agreement in lieu of a plan" as
defined in 9VAC25-840-10 from the VESCP authority, or an erosion and sediment control plan
prepared in accordance with annual standards and specifications approved by the department.
Any operator proposing a new stormwater discharge from construction activities that is not
required to obtain erosion and sediment control plan approval from a VESCP authority or does
not adopt department-approved annual standards and specifications shall submit the erosion and
sediment control plan to the department for review and approval.
b. All erosion and sediment control plans shall include a statement describing the maintenance
responsibilities required for the erosion and sediment controls used.
c. A properly implemented approved erosion and sediment control plan, "agreement in lieu of a
plan," or erosion and sediment control plan prepared in accordance with department-approved
annual standards and specifications, that adequately:
(1) Controls the volume and velocity of stormwater runoff within the site to minimize soil erosion;
(2) Controls stormwater discharges, including peak flow rates and total stormwater volume, to
minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and stream bank erosion;
(3) Minimizes the amount of soil exposed during the construction activity;
(4) Minimizes the disturbance of steep slopes;
(5) Minimizes sediment discharges from the site in a manner that addresses (i) the amount,
frequency, intensity, and duration of precipitation; (ii) the nature of resulting stormwater
runoff; and (iii) soil characteristics, including the range of soil particle sizes present on the
site;
(6) Provides and maintains natural buffers around surface waters, directs stormwater to
vegetated areas to increase sediment removal, and maximizes stormwater infiltration, unless
infeasible;
(7) Minimizes soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserves topsoil;
(8) Ensures that stabilization of disturbed areas will be initiated immediately whenever any
clearing, grading, excavating, or other land-disturbing activities have permanently ceased on
any portion of the site, or temporarily ceased on any portion of the site and will not resume for
a period exceeding 14 days; and
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 7 of 21
(9) Utilizes outlet structures that withdraw stormwater from the surface (i.e., above the
permanent pool or wet storage water surface elevation), unless infeasible, when discharging
from sediment basins or sediment traps.
3. Stormwater management plan.
a. New construction activities. A stormwater management plan approved by the VSMP authority as
authorized under the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Regulation (9VAC25-
870), or an "agreement in lieu of a stormwater management plan" as defined in 9VAC25-870-10
from the VSMP authority, or a stormwater management plan prepared in accordance with annual
standards and specifications approved by the department. Any operator proposing a new
stormwater discharge from construction activities that is not required to obtain stormwater
management plan approval from a VSMP authority or does not adopt department-approved
annual standards and specifications shall submit the stormwater management plan to the
department for review and approval.
b. Existing construction activities. Any operator that was authorized to discharge under the general
permit issued in 2009, and that intends to continue coverage under this general permit, shall
ensure compliance with the requirements of 9VAC25-870-93 through 9VAC25-870-99 of the
VSMP Regulation, including but not limited to the water quality and quantity requirements. The
SWPPP shall include a description of, and all necessary calculations supporting, all post-

facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances), which are installed or used
by the operator to achieve compliance with the conditions of this general permit. Proper operation and
maintenance also includes effective plant performance, adequate funding, adequate staffing, and
adequate laboratory and process controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures. This
provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems, which are installed by
the operator only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of this
general permit.
R. Disposal of solids or sludges. Solids, sludges or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or
management of pollutants shall be disposed of in a manner so as to prevent any pollutant from such
materials from entering surface waters and in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and
regulations.
S. Duty to mitigate. The operator shall take all steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in violation of
this general permit that has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the
environment.
T. Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense. It shall not be a defense for an operator in an
enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to
maintain compliance with the conditions of this general permit.
U. Bypass.
1. "Bypass," as defined in 9VAC25-870-10, means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any
portion of a treatment facility. The operator may allow any bypass to occur that does not cause
effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to ensure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Part III U 2 and 3.
2. Notice.
a. Anticipated bypass. If the operator knows in advance of the need for a bypass, the operator shall
submit prior notice to the department, if possible at least 10 days before the date of the bypass.
b. Unanticipated bypass. The operator shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in
Part III I.
3. Prohibition of bypass.
a. Except as provided in Part III U 1, bypass is prohibited, and the board or department may take
enforcement action against an operator for bypass unless:
(1) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage.
Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities that causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources that can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production;
(2) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment
downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have been
installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass that
occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(3) The operator submitted notices as required under Part III U 2.
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 20 of 21
b. The department may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the
department determines that it will meet the three conditions listed in Part Ill U 3 a.
V. Upset.
1. An "upset," as defined in 9VAC25-870-10, means an exceptional incident in which there is
unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based state permit effluent limitations
because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the operator. An upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
2. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with technology-
based state permit effluent limitations if the requirements of Part Ill V 4 are met. A determination
made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is not a final administrative action subject to judicial review.
3. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly
designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventative maintenance, or
careless or improper operation.
4. An operator who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through
properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that:
a. An upset occurred and that the operator can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
b. The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
c. The operator submitted notice of the upset as required in Part III I; and
d. The operator complied with any remedial measures required under Part III S.
5. In any enforcement proceeding, the operator seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the
burden of proof.
W. Inspection and entry. The operator shall allow the department as the board's designee, the VSMP
authority, EPA, or an authorized representative of either entity (including an authorized contractor), upon
presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law to:
1. Enter upon the operator's premises where a regulated facility or activity is located or conducted, or
where records must be kept under the conditions of this general permit;
2. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the conditions of
this general permit;
3. Inspect and photograph at reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and
control equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under this general permit; and
4. Sample or monitor at reasonable times, for the purposes of ensuring state permit compliance or as
otherwise authorized by the Clean Water Act or the Virginia Stormwater Management Act, any
substances or parameters at any location.
For purposes of this section, the time for inspection shall be deemed reasonable during regular business
hours, and whenever the facility is discharging. Nothing contained herein shall make an inspection
unreasonable during an emergency.
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 21 of 21
X. State permit actions. State permits may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause.
The filing of a request by the operator for a state permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or
termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any state
permit condition.
Y. Transfer of state permits.
1. State permits are not transferable to any person except after notice to the department. Except as
provided in Part III Y 2, a state permit may be transferred by the operator to a new operator only if the
state permit has been modified or revoked and reissued, or a minor modification made, to identify the
new operator and incorporate such other requirements as may be necessary under the Virginia
Stormwater Management Act and the Clean Water Act.
2. As an alternative to transfers under Part III Y 1, this state permit may be automatically transferred to a
new operator if:
a. The current operator notifies the department at least 30 days in advance of the proposed transfer
of the title to the facility or property;
b. The notice includes a written agreement between the existing and new operators containing a
specific date for transfer of state permit responsibility, coverage, and liability between them; and
c. The department does not notify the existing operator and the proposed new operator of its intent
to modify or revoke and reissue the state permit. If this notice is not received, the transfer is
effective on the date specified in the agreement mentioned in Part III Y 2 b.
3. For ongoing construction activity involving a change of operator, the new operator shall accept and
maintain the existing SWPPP, or prepare and implement a new SWPPP prior to taking over
operations at the site.
Z. Severability. The provisions of this general permit are severable, and if any provision of this general
permit or the application of any provision of this state permit to any circumstance, is held invalid, the
application of such provision to other circumstances and the remainder of this general permit shall not be
affected thereby.

order to keep controls in effective operating condition and requires repairs if controls are not operating as intended.Corrective actions are triggered only for specific,
more serious conditions,which include: 1) A required stormwater control was never installed,was installed incorrectly,or not in accordance with the requirements in
Part 2 and/or 3;2) You become aware that the stormwater controls you have installed and are maintaining are not effective enough for the discharge to meet
applicable water quality standards or applicable requirements in Part 3.1;3) One of the prohibited discharges in Part 2.3.1 is occurring or has occurred;or 4) EPA
requires corrective actions as a result of a permit violation found during an inspection carried out under Part 4.2.If a condition on your site requires a corrective action,
you must also fill out a corrective action form found at www.epa.gov/nodes/stormwater/swoop.See Part 5 of the permit for more information.

Instructions for Filling Out the "Erosion and Sediment Control" Table
Type and Location of E&S Controls
Provide a list of all erosion and sediment (E&S) controls that your SWPPP indicates will be installed and implemented at your site.This list must include at a minimum all
E&S controls required by CGP Part 2.1.2. Include also any natural buffers established under CGP Part 2.1.2.1. Buffer requirements apply if your project's earth-disturbing
activities will occur within 50 feet of a surface water.You may group your E&S controls on your form if you have several of the same type of controls (e.g.,you may
group "Inlet Protection Measures", "Perimeter Controls",and "Stockpile Controls" together on one line), but if there are any problems with a specific control,you must
separately identify the location of the control,whether repairs or maintenance or corrective action are necessary,and in the notes section you must describe the
specifics about the problem you observed.
Repairs or Other Maintenance Needed?
Answer"yes" if the E&S control requires a repair of any kind (due to normal wear and tear, or as a result of damage) or requires maintenance in order for the control
to continue operating effectively.At a minimum, maintenance is required in the following specific instances: (1) for perimeter controls,whenever sediment has
accumulated to or more the above-ground height of the control (CGP Part 2.1.2.2.b); (2) where sediment has been tracked-out onto the surface of off-site streets
or other paved areas (CGP Part 2.1.2.3.d); (3) for inlet protection measures,when sediment accumulates,the filter becomes clogged, and/or performance is
compromised (CGP Part 2.1.2.9.b);and (4) for sediment basins,as necessary to maintain at least'/2 of the design capacity of the basin (CGP Part 2.1.3.2.b). Note: In
many cases, "yes" answers are expected and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program.You should also answer"yes" if work to fix the
problem is still ongoing from the previous inspection.
Corrective Action Needed?
Answer"yes" if during your inspection you found any of the following conditions to be present (CGP, Part 5.2.1): (1) a required E&S control was never installed,was
installed incorrectly,or not in accordance with the corresponding CGP Part 2 or 3 requirement; (2) you become aware that the inadequacy of the E&S control has led
to an exceedance of an applicable water quality standard;or(3) EPA requires corrective action for an E&S control as a result of a permit violation found during an
inspection carried out under Part 4.2. If you answer"yes",you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action report,found at
www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swppp.Note: You should answer"yes"if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing.
Date on Which Maintenance or Corrective Action First Identified?
Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for maintenance or corrective action was first identified.If the condition was just discovered during
this inspection,enter the inspection date.If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the condition's discovery.
Notes
For each E&S control and the area immediately surrounding it, note whether the control is properly installed and whether it appears to be working to minimize
sediment discharge. Describe any problem conditions you observed such as the following,and why you think they occurred as well as actions (e.g., repairs,
maintenance, or corrective action) you will take or have taken to fix the problem:
1.Failure to install or to properly install a required E&S control
2.Damage or destruction to an E&S control caused by vehicles,equipment, or personnel, a storm event,or other event
3.Mud or sediment deposits found downslope from E&S controls
4.Sediment tracked out onto paved areas by vehicles leaving construction site
5.Noticeable erosion at discharge outlets or at adjacent streambanks or channels
6.Erosion of the site's sloped areas (e.g.,formation of rills or gullies)
7.E&S control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance
For buffer areas, make note of whether they are marked off as required,whether there are signs of construction disturbance within the buffer,which is prohibited
under the CGP, and whether there are visible signs of erosion resulting from discharges through the area.
If repairs,maintenance,or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If repairs, maintenance,or corrective action have been completed, make a note of
the date it was completed and what was done.If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action report describing
the condition and your work to fix the problem.

Instructions for Signature/Certification
Each inspection report must be signed and certified to be considered complete.
Contractor or Subcontractor Signature and Certification
Where a contractor or subcontractor is relied on to carry out the inspection and complete the inspection report,you should require the inspector to sign and certify
each report. Note that this does not relieve the permitted operator of the requirement to sign and certify the inspection report as well.
Signature and Certification by Permittee
At a minimum, the inspection report must be signed by either (1) the person who signed the NOI, or (2) a duly authorized representative of that person.The following
requirements apply to scenarios (1) and (2):
If the signatory will be the person who signed the NOI for permit coverage, as a reminder, that person must be one of the following types of individuals:
• For a corporation: A responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this subsection, a responsible corporate officer means: (i) a president, secretary,
treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy-or decision-making
functions for the corporation, or(ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided, the manager is authorized to
make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital
investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental
laws and regulations;the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for
permit application requirements;and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate
procedures.
• For a partnership or sole proprietorship:A general partner or the proprietor, respectively.
• For a municipality, state, federal, or other public agency: Either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official. For purposes of this subsection, a
principal executive officer of a federal agency includes (i) the chief executive officer of the agency, or (ii) a senior executive officer having responsibility for
the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency (e.g., Regional Administrator of EPA).
If the signatory will be a duly authorized representative, the following requirements must be met:
• The authorization is made in writing by the person who signed the NOI (see above);
• The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibility for the overall operation of the regulated facility or activity such as the
position of plant manager, operator of a well or a well field,superintendent, position of equivalent responsibility, or an individual or position having overall
responsibility for environmental matters for the company. (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any individual
occupying a named position); and
• The signed and dated written authorization is included in the SWPPP. A copy must be submitted to EPA, if requested.
