All non-stormwater discharges as stated in CGP I E. 1 through 12 are the only non-stormwater
discharges allowed by the construction general permit. With the exception of flows from firefighting
activities, allowable sources of non-stormwater discharges must be identified in the SWPPP. Appropriate
measures must be taken to ensure that pollution prevention measures for the non-stormwater
component of the discharge are implemented.
E. Persons responsible for pollution prevention practices
The qualified personnel, contractor listed below, will be responsible for the implementation and
maintenance of the pollutant control measures. This may include delegating this responsibility
to other contractors as they become involved with the project and begin the anticipated
pollutant generating activity. They are required to hold weekly toolbox meetings to review the
pollution prevention plan with their team.
SOUTHEASTERN RETAIL DEVELOPMENT, LLC
850.660.1917
F. Response and reporting practices
The first priority is to protect all people, secondly protect the equipment and property, and lastly
protect the environment. The contractor shall regularly check the equipment on site and any pollutants
shall be stored properly to prevent spills. Spills will be immediately and promptly cleaned up by the
contractor. Most spills can be cleaned up following manufacturer specifications. Absorbent/oil dry,
sealable containers, plastic bags, and shovels/brooms are suggested minimum spill response items that
should be available at this location. The following steps shall be taken in the case of a spill:
1. Check for hazards (flammable material, noxious fumes, cause of spill) — if flammable liquid, turn
off engines and nearby electrical equipment. If serious hazards are present leave the area and
call 911. large spills are likely to present a hazard.
2. Make sure the spill area is safe to enter and that it does not pose an immediate threat to health
or safety of any person.
3. Stop the spill source (most spills can be cleaned up following manufacturer specifications —
absorbent/oil dry, sealable containers, plastic bags, and shovels/brooms are suggested
minimum spill response items)
4. Call co-workers and supervisor for assistance and to make them aware of the spill and potential
dangers.
5. If possible, stop spill from entering drains (use absorbent or other material if necessary).
6. Stop spill from spreading (use absorbent or other material if necessary).
7. If spilled material has entered a storm sewer; contact locality's storm water department.
8. Clean up spilled material according to manufacturer specifications, for liquid spills use absorbent
materials and do not flush area with water.
9. Properly dispose of cleaning materials and used absorbent material according to manufacturer
specifications.
The following agency should be considered for notification in the case of a spill:
Ivy Fire and Rescue: 434-296-5833
Albemarle County Police Department: 434-977-9041
Charlottesville Health Department: 434-972-6200

Virginia Department of Environmental Quality: 1-540-574-7824
Virginia Department of Emergency Services: 1-800-468-8892
G. Pollution Prevention Awareness
DEQ's Office of Pollution Prevention hosts a number of programs and initiatives that serve as a
conduit for non -regulatory assistance to businesses and communities. The contractor will ensure
that their team is trained and knowledgably aware of all measures in this document before
construction begins. They are required to hold weekly toolbox meetings with their team to review
the pollution prevention plan and give any updates on changes through the construction phase.

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.
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;

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

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:
"I 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 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 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 90
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.
General Permit No.: VAR10

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.
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 III 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 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(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
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.
