request to the department, the VSMP authority, the EPA, the VESCP authority, local government
officials, or the operator of a municipal separate storm sewer system receiving discharges from the
construction activity. If an on-site location is unavailable to store the SWPPP when no personnel are
present, notice of the SWPPP's location must be posted near the main entrance of the construction
site.
3. The operator shall make the SWPPP available for public review in an electronic format or in hard
copy. Information for public access to the SWPPP shall be posted and maintained in accordance with
Part II C. If not provided electronically, public access to the SWPPP may be arranged upon request at
a time and at a publicly accessible location convenient to the operator or his designee but shall be no
less than once per month and shall be during normal business hours. Information not required to be
contained within the SWPPP by this general permit is not required to be released.
E. SWPPP implementation. The operator shall implement the SWPPP and subsequent amendments,
modifications, and updates from commencement of land disturbance until termination of general permit
coverage as specified in Part I F.
1. All control measures must be properly maintained in effective operating condition in accordance with
good engineering practices and, where applicable, manufacturer specifications. If a site inspection
required by Part II F identifies a control measure that is not operating effectively, corrective action(s)
shall be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than seven days after discovery or a longer
period as established by the VSMP authority, to maintain the continued effectiveness of the control
measures.
2. If site inspections required by Part II F identify an existing control measure that needs to be modified
or if an additional control measure is necessary for any reason, implementation shall be completed
prior to the next anticipated measurable storm event. If implementation prior to the next anticipated
measurable storm event is impracticable, then alternative control measures shall be implemented as
soon as practicable, but no later than seven days after discovery or a longer period as established by
the VSMP authority.
F. SWPPP Inspections.
1. Personnel responsible for on-site and off-site inspections. Inspections required by this general permit
shall be conducted by the qualified personnel identified by the operator in the SWPPP. The operator
is responsible for insuring that the qualified personnel conduct the inspection.

General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 11 of 21
1) At least once every five business days; or
2) At least once every 10 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 no later than the next
business day.
b. Where areas have been temporarily stabilized or land-disturbing activities will be suspended due
to continuous frozen ground conditions and stormwater discharges are unlikely, the inspection
frequency may be reduced to once per month. If weather conditions (such as above freezing
temperatures or rain or snow events) make discharges likely, the operator shall immediately
resume the regular inspection frequency.
c. Representative inspections may be utilized for utility line installation, pipeline construction, or
other similar linear construction activities provided that:
1) Temporary or permanent soil stabilization has been installed and vehicle access may
compromise the temporary or permanent soil stabilization and potentially cause additional
land disturbance increasing the potential for erosion;
2) Inspections occur on the same frequency as other construction activities;
3) Control measures are inspected along the construction site 0.25 miles above and below each
access point (i.e., where a roadway, undisturbed right-of-way, or other similar feature
intersects the construction activity and access does not compromise temporary or permanent
soil stabilization); and
4) Inspection locations are provided in the report required by Part II F.
3. Inspection requirements.
a. As part of the inspection, the qualified personnel shall:
1) Record the date and time of the inspection and when applicable the date and rainfall amount
of the last measurable storm event;
2) Record the information and a description of any discharges occurring at the time of the
inspection;
3) Record any land-disturbing activities that have occurred outside of the approved erosion and
sediment control plan;

convey concentrated runoff down cut and fill slopes;
g) Storm inlets that have been made operational to ensure that sediment laden stormwater
does not enter without first being filtered or similarly treated; and
h) Construction vehicle access routes that intersect or access paved roads for minimizing
sediment tracking;
5) Inspect areas that have reached final grade or that will remain dormant for more than 14 days
for initiation of stabilization activities;
6) Inspect areas that have reached final grade or that will remain dormant for more than 14 days
for completion of stabilization activities within seven days of reaching grade or stopping work;
7) Inspect for evidence that the 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 has not been properly implemented. This
includes but is not limited to:
a) Concentrated flows of stormwater in conveyances such as rills, rivulets or channels that
have not been filtered, settled, or similarly treated prior to discharge, or evidence thereof;
b) Sediment laden or turbid flows of stormwater that have not been filtered or settled to

a result of the inspection or to maintain permit compliance;
i. Documentation of any corrective actions required from a previo us inspection that have not been
implemented; and
j. The date and signature of the qualified personnel and the operator or its duly authorized
representative.
The inspection report and any actions taken in accordance with Part II must be retained by the operator
as part of the SWPPP for at least three years from the date that general permit coverage expires or is
terminated. The inspection report shall identify any incidents of noncompliance. Where an inspection
report does not identify any incidents of noncompliance, the report shall contain a certification that the
construction activity is in compliance with the SWPPP and this general permit. The report shall be signed
in accordance with Part III K of this general permit.
G. Corrective actions.
1. The operator shall implement the corrective action(s) identified as a result of an inspection as soon as
practicable but no later than seven days after discovery or a longer period as approved by the VSMP
authority. If approval of a corrective action by a regulatory authority (e.g., VSMP authority, VESCP
authority, or the department) is necessary, additional control measures shall be implemented to
minimize pollutants in stormwater discharges until such approvals can be obtained.
2. The operator may be required to remove accumulated sediment deposits located outside of the
construction activity covered by this general permit as soon as practicable in order to minimize
environmental impacts. The operator shall notify the VSMP authority and the department as well as
obtain all applicable federal, state, and local authorizations, approvals, and permits prior to the
removal of sediments accumulated in surface waters including wetlands.

Page 17 of 21
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

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 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

having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency.
2. Reports, etc. 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
General Permit No.: VAR10
Page 18 of 21
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 must 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:
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 statemen t 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
Page 19 of 21
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 perman ent
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 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.
