Dear Permittee:
David K. Paylor
Director

DEQ has reviewed your Registration Statement received complete on November 06, 2020 and determined that
the proposed 14.16 acre land -disturbing activity is covered under the General VPDES Permit for Discharges of
Stormwater from Construction Activities (VAR10). The effective date of your coverage under this general permit
is July 1, 2019 or the date of this letter, whichever is later. You may obtain a copy of the general permit from
hftp://www.deg.virg in i a.gov/Portals/0/DEQ/ Water/Publ i cations/CG P2019. pdf.
The general permit contains the conditions of coverage and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
requirements. Please print the general permit and read it carefully as you will be responsible for compliance with
all permit conditions. Coverage under this construction general permit does not relieve the operator of complying
with all other federal, state, or local laws and regulations.
Our records indicate that your site may discharge to waters identified as impaired or exceptional. Please see
below for additional requirements:
1. Does this proposed land -disturbing activity discharge to a surface water identified as impaired or for which a
TMDL wasteload allocation has been established and approved prior to the term of the general permit for for
(i) sediment or a sediment -related parameter or (ii) nutrients? Yes. If YES, then the following general permit
(Part I B 4 a) and SWPPP requirements (Part II B 5) must be implemented for the land -disturbing activity:
• Permanent or temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to denuded areas within seven (7) days after
final grade is reached on any portion of the site;
• Nutrients (e.g., fertilizers) shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations or an
approved nutrient management plan and shall not be applied during rainfall events;
• Inspections shall be conducted at a frequency of (i) at least once every four (4) business days or (ii) at
least once every (5) business days and no later than 24 hours following a measurable storm event. In the
event that a measurable storm event occurs when there are more than 24 hours between business days,
the inspection shall be conducted on the next business day; and
• Representative inspections used by utility line installation, pipeline construction, or other similar linear
construction activities shall inspect all outfalls.
