Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and
Pollution Prevention Plan
Albemarle -Berkeley Water Pump Station
Prepared for Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority
1.0 Introduction
As part of on -going maintenance projects, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) is
proposing to demolish the abandoned sand filters and associated buried piping at the
Albemarle — Berkeley Wastewater Pump Station (ABWPS) located on the Albemarle High
School grounds.
Geographic coordinates of the project site are shown below
Latitude (N) Longitude (W)
38.077514-78.501512
Source: Google Earth
The ABWPS resides within the jurisdiction of the Albemarle County, and all necessary
permits will be coordinated with the County. All proposed construction will take place within
tax map & parcel 60-78A; no construction will occur outside of the site boundaries.
The disturbed area for these improvements is approximately 0.48 acres. Any excess and
unsuitable soil will be stockpile on the property by the contractor with the option of unsuitable
material to be disposed of in an approved location with all required permits to be acquired by
the contractor.
Erosion and sediment control measures will be used to limit erosion and contain sediment
from the construction and cleared areas prior to the establishment of vegetation.
1.1 Nature of Activity
The sand filter structures are primarily buried and have been out of service since the mid
1970's, when they were replaced by several pump stations including the Albemarle -Berkeley
Wastewater Pump Station facilities. Through the middle 2000's, the filters were used as
emergency storage until a backup generator was installed. Two of the three sand filter beds
are capped with concrete. The pump station still conveys wastewater from this site into the
RWSA interceptor system, to be treated at their downstream wastewater treatment facilities.
This work includes removal and abandonment of previously abandoned sand filters, storage
basins, chlorination facilities, splitter box, yard waterline piping and associated piping and
structures. The project will eliminate old, un-used systems, and replace these areas with
pervious, vegetated surfaces.

1.2 Plan administration
Copies of the SWPPP shall be kept on -site and be made available to the DEQ, or other
regulatory agencies having authority, upon request. This SWPPP will also be available to all
operators identified as having responsibilities to carry out provisions contained in the
SWPPP. In addition, a copy of this document will be available at the Rivanna Water & Sewer
Authority (RWSA) office. A copy of the permit coverage letter with the registration number for
the construction activity, and the location where the SWPPP plan may be found and the
name and telephone number of the contact person for scheduling viewing times will be
posted conspicuously near the active portion of the construction site or at the main entrance
as applicable. Access to these documents will be provided no less than once per month.
1.3 Further Information
Further information and plan requirements for the SWPPP is found in the Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan, and will be attached upon its approval.
2.0 Pollution Prevention Plan
This Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) has been developed as a requirement of the current
Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Permit VAR10 for Discharges of
Stormwater from Construction Activities associated with the ABWPS Demo project.
2.1 Potential Pollutant Sources
Potential pollutant sources for this project include but may not be limited to the following:
Construction debris
• Water Treatment facilities
• Litter
• Dust
• Oils/lubricants for equipment.
2.2 Control Measures for Potential Pollutant Sources
2.2.1 Waste Disposal
Any and all waste materials will be collected and stored in a securely lidded metal dumpster
rented from a licensed solid waste management company. The dumpster shall meet all local
and any State of Virginia solid waste management regulations. All trash and construction
debris from the site will be deposited in the dumpster.
The dumpster shall be emptied a minimum of once per week or more often if necessary. The
trash will be hauled to a permitted solid waste disposal facility. No construction waste
materials shall be buried onsite. All personnel will be instructed regarding the correct
procedures for waste disposal. Notices statin these practices shall be posted in the office
trailer and the superintendent on site shall be responsible for seeing that the procedures are
followed.
Any and all hazardous waste materials will be disposed of in the manner specified by the
County of Albemarle, the City of Charlottesville and the State of Virginia Hazardous Waste
regulations or by the manufacturer. Site personnel will be instructed in these practices and
the superintendent on site shall be responsible for seeing that the procedures are followed.
2 of 5
The contractor shall control the management and disposal of liter from the site such that no
adverse impacts to water quality occur.
2.2.2 Dust Control and Off -Site Sediment
If dust becomes a problem on the site, dust control measures must be implemented. A water
truck shall be used to wet slopes and roadways as often as needed to control dust. Local
ordinances shall be followed to ensure compliance with current water conservation
measures.
If sediment is being tracked offsite along the roadway, was racks must be installed at
locations where vehicles leave the site. Refer to the contractor drawings for all proposed
location of temporary construction entrances and vehicle wash racks.
2.2.3 Non -Storm Water Discharges
Non-stormwater discharges are prohibited from the site during the construction period. Any
potential sources of non-stormwater discharges must be identified by the Contractor and
measure must be taken to ensure that these discharges do not leave the site.
Existing, permitted, non -storm water discharges on the site are not impacted by the
requirements of this plan.
2.2.4 Oils/Lubricants for Equipment Maintenance
Any routine lubrication of construction equipment that will be performed on -site will be done
only as needed and performed only by competent, and authorized personnel. Equipment
shall not be parked over or in the immediate vicinity of active storm drainage structures or
drainage ways while performing this function.
Any equipment with known petroleum product leakage shall be corrected prior to being
mobilized to the site. Existing equipment already in use on this project shall be inspected
daily and monitored by the project supervisor for leakage. Upon detection, the supervisor
shall immediately notify the Equipment Superintendent and a qualified mechanic shall be
dispatched to correct the problem. In the event that a mechanic is not readily available, the
equipment in question shall be removed from the site until repairs can be made or
containment of all petroleum leakage ensured.
2.2.5 Potential Contaminants
It is not anticipated that storage of potential contaminants will take place on this project.
2.2.6 Portable Sanitary Facilities
During construction activities, portable sanitary facilities shall be located in such a manner as
to protect the facilities from construction activities and to prevent the discharge from these
facilities to the ground or to surface or ground water.
2.3 Spill Prevention
2.3.1 Good Housekeeping
The following good housekeeping practices will be followed onsite during the grading
operations:
• An effort will be made to store only materials necessary to do the job.
All materials stored onsite will be stored in a neat, orderly manner in their appropriate
containers and, if possible, under a roof or other structure.
3 of 5
• Products will be kept in their original containers with the original manufacturer's label.
• Substances will not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Whenever possible, all of a product will be used up before disposing of the container.
• Manufacturer's recommendations for proper use and disposal will be followed.
• The site superintendent will inspect daily to insure proper use and disposal of
materials onsite.
2.3.2 Hazardous Products
These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous materials:
• Products will be kept I original containers unless they are not re -sealable,
• Original labels, and material safety data will be retained.
If surplus product must be disposed of, manufactures or local and State
recommended methods for proper disposal will be followed.
2.3.3 Petroleum Products and Other Fluids
Equipment utilized during the construction activity on the site must be operated and
maintained in such a manner as to prevent the potential or actual pollution of the surface or
ground waters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids and any other
petroleum products shall not be discharged onto the ground or into surface waters. Spent
fluids shall be disposed of in a manner so as not to enter the waters, surface or ground, of the
state and in accordance with applicable state and federal disposal regulations. Any spilled
fluids shall be cleaned up to the extent practicable and disposed of in a manner so as not to
allow their entry into the waters, surface or ground, of the state.
All onsite vehicles will be monitored for leaks and receive regular preventative maintenance
to reduce the chance of leakage. Petroleum products and other fluids will be stored in tightly
sealed containers, which are clearly labeled.
2.3.4 Herbicides, Pesticides and Fertilizers
Herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer usage during the construction activity shall be consistent
with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and shall be in accordance with
label restrictions. Fertilizers used will be applied only in the minimum amounts recommended
by the manufacturer. Once applied, fertilizer will be worked into the soil to limit the exposure
to stormwater. Storage will be in a covered shed, if possible. The contents of any partially
used bags of fertilizer will be transferred to a sealable plastic bin to avoid spills.
2.3.5 Spill Control Practices
In addition to the good housekeeping and material management practices discussed in the
previous section of the Plan, the following practices will be followed for spill prevention and
cleanup:
Manufacturer's recommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly posted and
site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the location of the
information and cleanup supplies.
4 of 5
• Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the material
storage area onsite. Equipment and materials may include but not be limited to
brooms, dustpans, mops, rags, gloves, goggles, kitty litter, sand sawdust, and plastic
and metal trash containers specifically for this purpose.
• All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery.
• The spill area will be kept well ventilated and personnel will wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent injury from contact with a hazardous substance.
• Spills of toxic or hazardous material will be reported to the appropriate State or Local
government agency, regardless of size.
• The site superintendent responsible for the day-to-day operations will be the spill
prevention and cleanup coordinator. He will designate other site personnel who will
receive spill prevention and cleanup training. These individual will each become
responsible for a particular phase of prevention and cleanup. Thaw names of
responsible spill personnel will be posted in the material storage area and in the
office trailer onsite.

Good Housekeeping
The following good housekeeping practices will be followed onsite during the grading operations:
• An effort will be made to store only materials necessary to do the job.
• All materials stored onsite will be stored in a neat, orderly manner in their appropriate
containers and, if possible, under a roof or other structure.
• Products will be kept in their original containers with the original manufacturer's label.
• Substances will not be mixed with one another unless recommended by the manufacturer.
• Whenever possible, all of a product will be used up before disposing of the container.
• Manufacturer's recommendations for proper use and disposal will be followed.
• The site superintendent will inspect daily to insure proper use and disposal of materials onsite.
Hazardous Products
These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous materials:
• Products will be kept I original containers unless they are not re -sealable,
• Original labels, and material safety data will be retained.
• If surplus product must be disposed of, manufactures or local and State recommended methods
for proper disposal will be followed.
Petroleum Products and Other Fluids
Equipment utilized during the construction activity on the site must be operated and maintained in such
a manner as to prevent the potential or actual pollution of the surface or ground waters of the state.
Fuels, lubricants, coolants, hydraulic fluids and any other petroleum products shall not be discharged
onto the ground or into surface waters. Spent fluids shall be disposed of in a manner so as not to enter
the waters, surface or ground, of the state and in accordance with applicable state and federal disposal
regulations. Any spilled fluids shall be cleaned up to the extent practicable and disposed of in a manner
so as not to allow their entry into the waters, surface or ground, of the state.
All onsite vehicles will be monitored for leaks and receive regular preventative maintenance to reduce
the chance of leakage. Petroleum products and other fluids will be stored in tightly sealed containers,
which are clearly labeled.
Herbicides, Pesticides and Fertilizers
Herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer usage during the construction activity shall be consistent with the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and shall be in accordance with label restrictions.
Fertilizers used will be applied only in the minimum amounts recommended by the manufacturer. Once
applied, fertilizer will be worked into the soil to limit the exposure to stormwater. Storage will be in a
covered shed, if possible. The contents of any partially used bags of fertilizer will be transferred to a
sealable plastic bin to avoid spills.
Respond to all spills, leaks and discharges as follows;
Spill Control Practices
In addition to the good housekeeping and material management practices discussed in the previous
section of the Plan, the following practices will be followed for spill prevention and cleanup:
• Manufacturer's recommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly posted and site
personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the location of the information and
cleanup supplies.
• Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the material storage area
onsite. Equipment and materials may include but not be limited to brooms, dustpans, mops,
rags, gloves, goggles, kitty litter, sand sawdust, and plastic and metal trash containers
specifically for this purpose.
• All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery.
• The spill area will be kept well ventilated and personnel will wear appropriate protective
clothing to prevent injury from contact with a hazardous substance.
• The site superintendent responsible for the day-to-day operations will be the spill prevention
and cleanup coordinator. He will designate other site personnel who will receive spill
prevention and cleanup training. These individual will each become responsible for a particular
phase of prevention and cleanup. The names of responsible spill personnel will be posted in the
material storage area and in the office trailer onsite.
Report all spills, leaks and discharges as follows;
• Spills of toxic or hazardous material will be reported to the appropriate State or Local government
agency, regardless of size.

GENERAL VPDES PERMIT FOR DISCHARGES OF
STORMWATER FROM CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
AUTHORIZATION TO DISCHARGE UNDER THE VIRGINIA STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM AND THE VIRGINIA STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ACT
In compliance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and pursuant to the
Virginia Stormwater Management Act and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, operators of
construction activities are authorized to discharge to surface waters within the boundaries of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, except those specifically named in State Water Control Board
regulations that prohibit such discharges.
The authorized discharge shall be in accordance with the registration statement filed with the
Department of Environmental Quality, this cover page, Part I - Discharge Authorization and
Special Conditions, Part II - Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and Part III - Conditions
Applicable to All VPDES Permits as set forth in this general permit.
Construction General Permit
Effective July 1, 2019
Page 2 of 26
PART
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 permit's 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.
Page 3 of 26
4. Impaired waters and total maximum daily load (TMDL) limitation.

II B 7 of this permit and implements an inspection frequency consistent with Part II G 2 a.
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.
D. Prohibition of nonstormwater discharges. Except as provided in Parts I A 2, 1 C, and I E, all
discharges covered by this general permit shall be composed entirely of stormwater associated
with construction activities. All other discharges including the following are prohibited:
1. Wastewater from washout of concrete;
2. Wastewater from the washout and cleanout of stucco, paint, form release oils, curing
compounds, and other construction materials;

authority, upon request, copies of records required to be kept by this general permit.
E. Compliance schedule reports. Reports of compliance or noncompliance with, or any progress
reports on, interim and final requirements contained in any compliance schedule of this general
permit shall be submitted no later than 14 days following each schedule date.
F. Unauthorized stormwater discharges. Pursuant to § 62.1-44.5 of the Code of Virginia, except
in compliance with a state permit issued by the department, it shall be unlawful to cause a
stormwater discharge from a construction activity.
G. Reports of unauthorized discharges. Any operator who discharges or causes or allows a
discharge of sewage, industrial waste, other wastes or any noxious or deleterious substance or a
hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable quantity established
under either 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 117, 40 CFR Part 302, or § 62.1-44.34:19 of the Code
of Virginia that occurs during a 24-hour period into or upon surface waters or who discharges or
causes or allows a discharge that may reasonably be expected to enter surface waters, shall
notify the Department of Environmental Quality of the discharge immediately upon discovery of
the discharge, but in no case later than within 24 hours after said discovery. A written report of
the unauthorized discharge shall be submitted to the department and the VSMP authority within
five days of discovery of the discharge. The written report shall contain:
1. A description of the nature and location of the discharge;
2. The cause of the discharge;
Page 20 of 26
3. The date on which the discharge occurred;
4. The length of time that the discharge continued;
5. The volume of the discharge;
6. If the discharge is continuing, how long it is expected to continue;
7. If the discharge is continuing, what the expected total volume of the discharge will be; and
8. Any steps planned or taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent a recurrence of the present
discharge or any future discharges not authorized by this general permit.
Discharges reportable to the department and the VSMP authority under the immediate reporting
requirements of other regulations are exempted from this requirement.
H. Reports of unusual or extraordinary discharges. If any unusual or extraordinary discharge
including a "bypass" or "upset," as defined in this general permit, should occur from a facility and
the discharge enters or could be expected to enter surface waters, the operator shall promptly
notify, in no case later than within 24 hours, the department and the VSMP authority by telephone
after the discovery of the discharge. This notification shall provide all available details of the
incident, including any adverse effects on aquatic life and the known number of fish killed. The
operator shall reduce the report to writing and shall submit it to the department and the VSMP
authority within five days of discovery of the discharge in accordance with Part III 1 2. Unusual
and extraordinary discharges include any discharge resulting from:
1. Unusual spillage of materials resulting directly or indirectly from processing operations;
2. Breakdown of processing or accessory equipment;
3. Failure or taking out of service of some or all of the facilities; and
4. Flooding or other acts of nature.
I. Reports of noncompliance. The operator shall report any noncompliance which may adversely
affect surface waters or may endanger public health.
1. An oral report to the department and the VSMP authority shall be provided within 24 hours
from the time the operator becomes aware of the circumstances. The following shall be
included as information that shall be reported within 24 hours under this subdivision:
a. Any unanticipated bypass; and
b. Any upset that causes a discharge to surface waters.
2. A written report shall be submitted within five days and shall contain:
a. A description of the noncompliance and its cause;
Page 21 of 26
b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times, and if the noncompliance
has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and
c. Steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the
noncompliance.
The department may waive the written report on a case -by -case basis for reports of
noncompliance under Part III I if the oral report has been received within 24 hours and no
adverse impact on surface waters has been reported.
3. The operator shall report all instances of noncompliance not reported under Part II I 1 1 or 2 in
writing as part of the SWPPP. The reports shall contain the information listed in Part 111 12.
NOTE: The reports required in Part III G, H and I shall be made to the department and the VSMP
authority. Reports may be made by telephone, email, or by fax. For reports outside normal working
hours, leaving a recorded message shall fulfill the immediate reporting requirement. For
emergencies, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management maintains a 24-hour telephone
service at 1-800-468-8892.
4. Where the operator becomes aware of a failure to submit any relevant facts, or submittal of
incorrect information in any report, including a registration statement, to the department or the
VSMP authority, the operator shall promptly submit such facts or correct information.
J. Notice of planned changes.
1. The operator shall give notice to the department and the VSMP authority as soon as possible
of any planned physical alterations or additions to the permitted facility or activity. Notice is
required only when:
a. The operator plans an alteration or addition to any building, structure, facility, or installation
that may meet one of the criteria for determining whether a facility is a new source in
9VAC25-870-420;
b. The operator plans an alteration or addition that would significantly change the nature or
increase the quantity of pollutants discharged. This notification applies to pollutants that
are not subject to effluent limitations in this general permit; or
2. The operator shall give advance notice to the department and VSMP authority of any planned
changes in the permitted facility or activity, which may result in noncompliance with state
permit requirements.
K. Signatory requirements.
1. Registration statement. All registration statements shall be signed as follows:
a. For a corporation: by a responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this chapter, 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 -making or decision -making functions for the corporation; or (ii) the
manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided the
Page 22 of 26
manager is authorized to make management decisions that 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 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 state permit application requirements; and where
authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in
accordance with corporate procedures;
b. For a partnership or sole proprietorship: by a general partner or the proprietor,
respectively; or
c. For a municipality, state, federal, or other public agency: by either a principal executive
officer or ranking elected official. For purposes of this chapter, a principal executive officer
of a public 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.
2. Reports and other information. All reports required by this general permit, including SWPPPs,
and other information requested by the board or the department shall be signed by a person
described in Part III K 1 or by a duly authorized representative of that person. A person is a
duly authorized representative only if:
a. The authorization is made in writing by a person described in Part III K 1;
b. 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
operator. (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any
individual occupying a named position); and
c. The signed and dated written authorization is included in the SWPPP. A copy shall be
provided to the department and VSMP authority, if requested.
3. Changes to authorization. If an authorization under Part III K 2 is no longer accurate because
a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the construction
activity, a new authorization satisfying the requirements of Part III K 2 shall be submitted to
the VSMP authority as the administering entity for the board prior to or together with any
reports or information to be signed by an authorized representative.
4. Certification. Any person signing a document under Part III K 1 or 2 shall make the following
certification:
5. "1 certify under penalty of law that I have read and understand this document and that this
document and all attachments were prepared in accordance with a system designed to assure
that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on
my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly
responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant
Page 23 of 26
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for
knowing violations."
L. Duty to comply. The operator shall comply with all conditions of this general permit. Any state
permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and the
Clean Water Act, except that noncompliance with certain provisions of this general permit may
constitute a violation of the Virginia Stormwater Management Act but not the Clean Water Act.
Permit noncompliance is grounds for enforcement action; for state permit coverage, termination,
revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a state permit renewal application.
The operator shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under § 307(a)
of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish
these standards or prohibitions or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal, even if this
general permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.
M. Duty to reapply. If the operator wishes to continue an activity regulated by this general permit
after the expiration date of this general permit, the operator shall submit a new registration
statement at least 60 days before the expiration date of the existing general permit, unless
permission for a later date has been granted by the board. The board shall not grant permission
for registration statements to be submitted later than the expiration date of the existing general
permit.
N. Effect of a state permit. This general permit does not convey any property rights in either real
or personal property or any exclusive privileges, nor does it authorize any injury to private property
or invasion of personal rights, or any infringement of federal, state or local law or regulations.
O. State law. Nothing in this general permit shall be construed to preclude the institution of any
legal action under, or relieve the operator from any responsibilities, liabilities, or penalties
established pursuant to any other state law or regulation or under authority preserved by § 510 of
the Clean Water Act. Except as provided in general permit conditions on "bypassing" (Part III U)
and "upset" (Part III V), nothing in this general permit shall be construed to relieve the operator
from civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance.
P. Oil and hazardous substance liability. Nothing in this general permit shall be construed to
preclude the institution of any legal action or relieve the operator from any responsibilities,
liabilities, or penalties to which the operator is or may be subject under §§ 62.1-44.34:14 through
62.1-44.34:23 of the State Water Control Law or § 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Q. Proper operation and maintenance. The operator shall at all times properly operate and
maintain all 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.
Page 24 of 26
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 I II 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.
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 III U 3 a.
Page 25 of 26
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 III 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 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 shall be kept under the conditions of this general permit;
2. Have access to and copy, at reasonable times, any records that shall 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.
Page 26 of 26
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.
X. State permit actions. State permit coverage 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 permit coverage.
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.
