Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
In 1972, Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act(FWPCA), also known as the Clean
Water Act(CWA),to restore and maintain the quality of the nation's waterways. The ultimate goal was to
make sure that rivers and streams were fishable,swimmable, and drinkable. In 1987,the Water Quality
Act(WQA) added provisions to the CWA that allowed the EPA to govern storm water discharges from
construction sites. In 1998, EPA published the final notice for General Permits for Storm Water
Discharges from Construction Activities Disturbing 1 Acre or Greater(63 Federal Register 7898, February
14, 1998). The general permit includes provisions for development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP)to maximize the potential benefits of pollution prevention and sediment and erosion control
measures at construction sites.
Development, implementation, and maintenance of the SWPPP will provide Vue Realty Partners, LLC with
the framework for reducing soil erosion and minimizing pollutants in storm water during construction of
The Vue. The SWPPP shall be retained at the construction site. 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 at the construction site. A copy of the SWPPP will also be kept at the offices of
Hamrick Engineering, P.C. Their telephone number is 540-248-7407. Reference is hereby given to the
locally approved erosion and sediment control plan located in Appendix C. Specifically through the
approved erosion and sediment control, stormwater management or pollution prevention plan or the
SWPPP the following will be defined or described:
Define the characteristics of the site and the type of construction which will be occurring;
Describe the site plan for the project;
Describe the practices that will be implemented to control erosion and the release of
pollutants in storm water;
Create an implementation schedule to ensure that the practices described in this SWPPP
are in fact implemented and to evaluate the plan's effectiveness in reducing erosion,
sediment, and pollutant levels in storm water discharged from the site;and
Describe the final stabilization/termination design to minimize erosion and prevent storm
water impacts after construction is complete.

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1 Site Location
The project site is located in the Town of Crozet, Albemarle, Virginia. The latitude of the project site is
38°04 10.53"N. The longitude is 78°42' 17.36"W .
The project is located just north of the intersection of Jarmans Gap Road and Blue Ridge Avenue and is
more particularly described as Albemarle County Tax Map Numbers 56-115 and 56-6A.
3.2 Construction Type
The project will consist of grading, building construction, utility and parking lot construction, seeding, and
mulching 21.85 acres of undeveloped land to provide a 126-unit apartment complex. The total disturbed
area will be 7.3 acres.
3.3 Existing Site Description
Physiography and Soils
The site is located in an upland area of the Piedmont Plateau, at the western edge of the Piedmont
Physiographic Province, an area underlain by ancient metamorphic and igneous rocks. According to the
Magnetic and Gravity Surveys of Albemarle County, indicates the site is primarily underlain by
Palezoic aged protomylonite, mylonite, ultramylonite, and cataclastic rocks of the Blue Ridge basement
Complex. The bedrock in these formations is composed of dolimitic limestone, dolostone and limestone,
all of which contain a portion of carbonate minerals.
The surface material encountered at the site will consists of 3 to 8 inches of topsoil underlain by low-
plasticity CLAY with generally stiff to very stiff consistencies. The clay color varies from red-orange to
dark brown/black. The darker colors are possibly related to aquic conditions in the past due to flooding of
nearby Powells creek on to the property causing the underlying soils to become chemically reduced (Fe-
Mn) in time. These should be considered hydrologic group B soils.
The existing ground cover consists of dense trees,weeds, grass, and small trees. The existing
topography and drainage patterns are shown on the erosion control plan.

5.0 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS
The purpose of this section is to identify the types of temporary and permanent erosion and sediment
controls that will be used during construction activities. The controls will provide soil stabilization for
disturbed areas and structural controls to divert runoff and remove sediment. This section will also
address control of other potential storm water pollutant sources such as construction materials,waste
disposal, control of vehicle traffic, dust suppression, and sanitary waste disposal.
5.1 Temporary and Permanent Erosion Control Practices
A list of best management practices(BMP's) has been developed and the locations of these BMP's are
shown on the Erosion&Sediment Control Plan. Temporary erosion and sediment controls will be installed
and maintained during construction until the site is stabilized. The permanent BMP's complying with the
Virginia Runoff Reduction Method are three (3) high performance modular bio-retention basins, compost
soil amended grass channels, and an extended detention basin.
5.2 Site Wide Control Measures
To prevent soil from washing into the undisturbed areas of the site and surrounding water resources,the
following temporary BMP's will be implemented during construction:
o Construction Entrance is a stabilized stone pad with a filter fabric underliner located at
points of vehicular ingress and egress on a construction site.
o Outlet protection will be provided where the storm sewer discharges into the
stormwater management facility by using rip-rap.
o Inlet protection is a sediment filter or an excavated impounding area around a drop
inlet or curb inlet.
o Silt fencing is installed along the down gradient perimeter of the area to be used for
temporary soil stockpiles.
o Diversion dike is a ridge of compacted soil constructed at the top or base of a sloping
disturbed area.This will be used to direct runoff to the temporary sediment basin
during grading activities.
o Temporary sediment basin is a temporary ponding area formed by constructing an
earthen embankment with a piped outlet.
o Temporary sediment trap is a temporary ponding area formed by constructing an
earthen embankment with a stone outlet.

5.3 Construction Practices to Minimize Storm Water Contamination
All waste materials will be collected and stored in a metal container provided by the contractor. All trash
and construction debris from the site will be deposited into the appropriate containers. No construction
materials will be buried onsite. All paint, solvents, calking compounds etc will be stored in enclosed
storage containers. All personnel will be instructed regarding the correct procedure for waste disposal.
Good housekeeping and spill control practices will be followed during construction to minimize storm water
contamination from petroleum products, sanitary waste facilities, and other construction materials. Good
housekeeping practices for each drainage area are listed below.
To prevent storm water contamination from this project,the following BMP's will be implemented:
• Spill containment berms will be placed around all temporary sanitary waste facilities
and refueling areas if required.
• All vehicles on site will be monitored for leaks and receive regular preventative
maintenance to reduce the chance of leakage.
• Spill kits will be made available with refueling sources and maintenance activities.
• A stabilized construction entrance will be constructed to reduce vehicle tracking of
sediments.All wash waters will be directed to a sediment trapping device.
5.4 Coordination of BMP's with Construction Activities
Structural BMP's will be coordinated with construction activities so the BMP is in place before construction
begins. The following BMP's will be coordinated with construction activities:
The temporary perimeter controls will be installed before any clearing and grading begins.
Clearing and grading will not occur in an area until it is necessary for construction to proceed.
Once construction activity ceases permanently in an area, that area will be stabilized with
stone or seeded.
The temporary perimeter controls will not be removed until all construction activities at the site
are complete and soils have been stabilized.

5.5 Certification of Compliance with Federal.State.and Local Regulations
The SWPPP reflects Federal, State, and local requirements for storm water management and erosion and
sediment control. To ensure compliance,this plan was prepared in accordance with the Virginia Storm Water
Management, Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, published by the Virginia Department of Conservation
and Recreation, Division of Soil and Water Conservation.
Section 402 of the Clean Water Act established the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System to limit
pollutant discharges into streams, rivers, and bays. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, DEQ administers the
program as the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES). Though DEQ requires Virginia
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits for all point source discharges to surface waters,the US
Environmental Protection Agency maintains authority to review applications and permits for"major"
dischargers, a distinction based on discharge quantity and content.
Also, DEQ,the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance
Department are coordinating three separate State programs that regulate the management of pollution carried
by stormwater runoff:
• The 1987 revisions to the federal Clean Water Act added section 402(p), which required EPA to
develop a phased approach to regulating point source storm water discharges under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit program. EPA's 1990 Phase 1 Storm Water Regulation
established permit application requirements for storm water discharges from municipal separate storm
sewer systems(MS4s) serving a population of 100,000 or greater,and for eleven categories of storm
water discharges associated with industrial activity(including construction activity disturbing 5.0 or
more acres). EPA's 1999 Phase 2 Storm Water Regulation added permit requirements for storm water
discharges from small municipal separate storm sewer systems located in urbanized areas, and small
construction activity disturbing between 1 and 5 acres. It also added a"no exposure"exemption
provision, allowing any Phase 1 industrial facility/site (except construction sites)with no exposure of
industrial activities or materials to storm water to be exempted from the storm water permitting
requirements. DEQ manages this aspect of the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
program through storm water permits issued to industrial activities(including construction activities),
and to municipal separate storm sewer systems. More information can be found in the Storm Water
Permitting section.

• The Virginia Stormwater Management Act enables local governments to establish management plans
and adopt ordinances that require control and treatment of stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and
contamination of local waterways. Locally administered programs are voluntary but must meet or
exceed the minimum standards contained in the Act regulations. More information on this can be
found at the Department of Environmental Quality web site.
• The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act establishes requirements for stormwater management within
designated Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas that are within the Tidewater region of Virginia.
Each local government enforces its own program,which has been based on a model developed by
the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Board and Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department.
More information on this can be found at the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department web site.

6.0 MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURES
6.1 Inspections
Visual inspections of all disturbed areas and erosion and sediment controls on the site will be performed at a
minimum of once every 14 days and within 48 hours of the end of any runoff producing storm event. The
SWPPP coordinator or the designated storm water team members will conduct the inspection. The inspection
will verify that the structural BMP's described in Section 5 of this SWPPP are in good condition and are
minimizing erosion. The inspection will also verify that the procedures used to prevent storm water
contamination from construction materials and petroleum products are effective. The following inspection and
maintenance practices will be used to maintain erosion and sediment controls:
• Sediment in the temporary sediment basins will be removed when it reaches the cleanout
level.
• The stabilized construction entrance will be inspected for sediment tracked on the road, for
clean gravel, and to make, sure that, the culvert beneath the entrance is working and that all
traffic use the stabilized entrance when leaving the site.
• Built up sediment will be removed from silt fencing when it has reached one-third the height of
the fence.
• Silt fences will be inspected for depth of sediment,for tears,to see if the fabric is securely
attached to the fence posts, and to see that the fence posts are firmly in the ground.
The maintenance inspection report will be made after each inspection. A copy of the report form to be
completed by the SWPPP coordinator is provided in Appendix A of this SWPPP. Completed forms will be
maintained on-site during the entire construction project. Following construction,the completed forms will be
retained by Vue Realty Partners, LLC for a minimum of 1 year. If construction activities or design modifications
are made to the site plan which could impact storm water, this SWPPP will be amended appropriately. The
amended SWPPP will have a description of the new activities that contribute to the increased pollutant loading
and the planned source control activities.
6.2 Employee Training
An employee-training program will be developed and implemented to educate employees about the
requirements of the SWPPP. This education program will include background on the components and the
goals of the SWPPP and hands on training in erosion controls, spill prevention and response, good
housekeeping, proper material handling, disposal and control of waste, equipment fueling, and proper storage,
washing, and inspection procedures.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Eye and upper respiratory irritant. May cause nausea, vomiting,
headache, drowsiness, blurred vision, convulsions, coma or death
if ingested or inhaled. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may
cause dermatitis or skin sensitization.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION: May cause irritation of the nose and throat with headache,
particularly from mists. High vapor concentrations caused, for example,
by heating the material in an enclosed and poorly ventilated workplace,
may produce nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness and irregular eye
movements.

SKIN CONTACT: No evidence of adverse effects from available
information.
EYE CONTACT: Liquid, vapors or mist may cause discomfort in the eye
with persistent conjunctivitis, seen as slight excess redness or
conjunctiva. Serious corneal injury is not anticipated.
INGESTION: Following ingestion, a bitter taste may be noted. May cause
abdominal discomfort or pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness,
malaise, blurring of vision, irritability, back pain, decrease in urine
output, kidney failure, and central nervous system effects, including
irregular eye movements, convulsions and coma. Cardiac failure and
pulmonary edema may develop. Severe kidney damage which may be fatal
may follow the swallowing of ethylene glycol. A few reports have been
published describing the development of weakness of the facial muscles,
diminishing hearing, and difficulty with swallowing, during the late
stages of severe poisoning.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: Prolonged or repeated inhalation exposure may produce
signs of central nervous system involvement, particularly dizziness and
jerking eye movements. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
skin sensitization and an associated dermatitis in some individuals.
Ethylene glycol has been found to cause birth defects in laboratory
animals. The significance of this finding to humans has not been
determined. See section 11 for additional information.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: The available toxicological
information and a knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of
the material suggest that overexposure in unlikely to aggravate existing
medical conditions.
CARCINOGEN: None of the components of these products is listed as a
carcinogen or suspected carcinogen by IARC, NTP or OSHA.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove the victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped
administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, have
medical personnel administer oxygen. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash contacted
area thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical
attention.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
INGESTION: Seek immediate medical attention. Immediately call local
poison control center or go to an emergency department. Never give
anything by mouth to or induce vomiting in an unconscious or drowsy
person.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: The principal toxic effects of ethylene glycol,
when swallowed, are kidney damage and metabolic acidosis. The
combination of metabolic acidosis, an osmol gap and oxalate crystals in
the urine is evidence of ethylene glycol poisoning.
Pulmonary edema with hypoxemia has been described in a number of
patients following poisoning with ethylene glycol. Respiratory support
with mechanical ventilation may be required.
There may be cranial nerve involvement in the late stages of toxicity
from swallowed ethylene glycol. In particular, effects have been
reported involving the seventh, eighth, and ninth cranial nerves,
presenting with bilateral facial paralysis, diminished hearing and
dysphagia.
Ethanol is antidotal and its early administration may block the
formation of nephrotoxic metabolites of ethylene glycol in the liver.
The objective is to rapidly achieve and maintain a blood ethanol level
of approximately 100 mg/dl by giving a loading dose of ethanol followed
by a maintenance dose. Intravenous administration of ethanol is the
preferred route. Ethanol blood levels should be checked frequently.
Hemodialysis may be required.
4-Methylpyrazole (Antizole(R) or Fomepizole) , a potent inhibitor of
alcohol dehydrogenase, has been used therapeutically to decrease the
metabolic consequences of ethylene glycol poisoning. Additional
therapeutic modalities which may decrease the adverse consequences of
ethylene glycol metabolism are the administration of both thiamine and
pyridoxine. As there are complicated and serious overdoses, we recommend
you consult with the toxicologists at your poison control center.
This antidote is now approved by the F.D.A. and in many cases has
replaced ethanol in the treatment of ethylene glycol poisoning.

SECTION 11 : TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE TOXICITY VALUES:
Ethylene Glycol: LD50 Oral Rat: 4700 mg/kg
LD50 Skin Rabbit: 9530 mg/kg
Diethylene Glycol: LD50 Oral Rat: 12,565 mg/kg
LD50 Skin Rabbit: 11,890 mg/kg
SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH:
Ethylene glycol has been shown to produce dose-related teratogenic
effects in rats and mice when given by gavage or in drinking water at
high concentrations or doses. Also, in a preliminary study to assess
the effects of exposure of pregnant rats and mice to aerosols at
concentrations 150, 1,000 and 2,500 mg/m3 for 6 hours a day throughout
the period of organogenesis, teratogenic effects were produced at the
highest concentrations, but only in mice. The conditions of these
latter experiments did not allow a conclusion as to whether the
developmental toxicity was mediated by inhalation of aerosol,
percutaneous absorption of ethylene glycol from contaminated skin, or
swallowing of ethylene glycol as a result of grooming the wetted coat.
In a further study, comparing effects from high aerosol concentration by
whole-body or nose-only exposure, it was shown that nose-only exposure

MSDSP149
resulted in maternal toxicity (1,000 and 2,500 mg/m3) and developmental
toxicity in with minimal evidence of teratogenicity (2,500 mg/m3) . The
no-effects concentration (based on maternal toxicity) was 500 mg/m3. In
a further study in mice, no teratogenic effects could be produced when
ethylene glycol was applied to the skin of pregnant mice over the period
of organogenesis. The above observations suggest that ethylene glycol
is to be regarded as an animal teratogen; there is currently no
available information to suggest that ethylene glycol caused birth
defects in humans. Cutaneous application of ethylene glycol is
ineffective in producing developmental toxicity; exposure to high
aerosol concentration is only minimally effective in producing
developmental toxicity; the major route for producing developmental
toxicity is perorally.
Two chronic feeding studies, using rats and mice, have not produced any
evidence that ethylene glycol causes dose-related increases in tumor
incidence or a different pattern of tumors compared with untreated
controls. The absence of carcinogenic potential for ethylene glycol has
been supported by numerous invitro genotoxicity studies showing that it
does not produce mutagenic or clastogenic effects.
This products contains less than 0.5% tolytriazole which has
demonstrates mutagenic activity in a bacterial test system. A
correlation has been established between mutagenic activity and
carcinogenic activity for many chemicals. Tolytriazole has not been
identified as a carcinogen or probable carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA.

Sensitization This substance may have a potential for sensitization which may provoke an allergic reaction
among sensitive individuals.
Acute effects Harmful if inhaled, absorbed through skin, or swallowed. Harmful:may cause lung damage if
swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. In high concentrations,vapors and
spray mists are narcotic and may cause headache,fatigue,dizziness and nausea. Hydrogen
sulfide, a highly toxic gas, may be present. Signs and symptoms of overexposure to hydrogen
sulfide include respiratory and eye irritation,dizziness, nausea, coughing,a sensation of dryness
and pain in the nose, and loss of consciousness. Odor does not provide a reliable indicator of the
presence of hazardous levels in the atmosphere.The toxicological properties of this material have
not been fully investigated.
Chronic effects Contains organic solvents which in case of overexposure may depress the central nervous system
causing dizziness and intoxication. Repeated exposure to naphthalene may cause cataracts,
allergic skin rashes,destruction of red blood cells, and anemia,jaundice, kidney and liver
damage. Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure. Prolonged or repeated
overexposure may cause central nervous system, kidney,liver, and lung damage.
Subchronic effects Liver and kidney damage may occur after prolonged and repeated exposure.

seek medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR FIRST AID PROVIDERS: High-pressure hydrocarbon Injection injuries may produce substantial
necrosis of underlying tissue despite an innocuous appearing wound. Often these injuries require emergency surgical debridement
and all injuries should be evaluated by a specialist in order to assess the extent of injury.
Acute aspirations of large amounts of mineral oil-laden material may produce serious aspiration pneumonia. Patients who aspirate
these oils should be followed for the development of long-term sequelae. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current workplace
exposure limits is unlikely to cause pulmonary abnormalities.

collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated
materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National Response Center at
(800)424-8802 as appropriate or required.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
General Handling Information:Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and
drainage systems and bodies of water.
Precautionary Measures: This product presents an extreme fire hazard. Liquid very quickly evaporates,
even at low temperatures, and forms vapor(fumes)which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence.
Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights,welding
equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON PRODUCT
LABEL. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not get in eyes. Do not taste or swallow. Do not
breathe vapor or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of the reach of children.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this
material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves,
be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic
charge and/or a flammable atmosphere(including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning,
sampling, gauging, switch loading,filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations)and use
appropriate mitigating procedures.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty
container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue(solid, liquid,
and/or vapor)and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and
cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly
returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.
General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks,flames, or hot surfaces .
USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use.

Revision Number: 47 8 of 16 CHEVRON and TEXACO PREMIUM
Revision Date: MARCH 18,2015 UNLEADED GASOLINES
SDS: 2653
Gasoline vapor is heavier than air and at high concentrations may accumulate in confined spaces to
present both safety and health hazards. When vapor exposures are low, or short duration and infrequent,
such as during refueling and tanker loading/unloading, neither total hydrocarbon nor components such as
benzene are likely to result in any adverse health effects. In situations such as accidents or spills where
exposure to gasoline vapor is potentially high, attention should be paid to potential toxic effects of specific
components. Information about specific components in gasoline can be found in Sections 2/3, 8 and 15 of
this MSDS. More detailed information on the health hazards of specific gasoline components can be
obtained calling the Chevron Emergency Information Center(see Section 1 for phone numbers).
Pathological misuse of solvents and gasoline, involving repeated and prolonged exposure to high
concentrations of vapor is a significant exposure on which there are many reports in the medical literature.
As with other solvents, persistent abuse involving repeated and prolonged exposures to high concentrations
of vapor has been reported to result in central nervous system damage and eventually, death. In a study in
which ten human volunteers were exposed for 30 minutes to approximately 200, 500 or 1000 ppm
concentrations of gasoline vapor, irritation of the eyes was the only significant effect observed, based on
both subjective and objective assessments.
Lifetime inhalation of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline at 2056 ppm has caused increased liver tumors in
female mice and kidney cancer in male rats. In their 1988 review of carcinogenic risk from gasoline, The
International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC) noted that, because published epidemiology studies
did not include any exposure data, only occupations where gasoline exposure may have occurred were
reviewed. These included gasoline service station attendants and automobile mechanics. IARC also noted
that there was no opportunity to separate effects of combustion products from those of gasoline itself.
Although IARC allocated gasoline a final overall classification of Group 2B, i.e. possibly carcinogenic to
humans,this was based on limited evidence in experimental animals plus supporting evidence including the
presence in gasoline of benzene. The actual evidence for carcinogenicity in humans was considered
inadequate.
MUTAGENICITY: Gasoline was not mutagenic,with or without activation, in the Ames assay(Salmonella
typhimurium), Saccharamyces cerevisesae, or mouse lymphoma assays. In addition, point mutations were
not induced in human lymphocytes. Gasoline was not mutagenic when tested in the mouse dominant lethal
assay. Administration of gasoline to rats did not cause chomosomal aberrations in their bone marrow cells.
EPIDEMIOLOGY: To explore the health effects of workers potentially exposed to gasoline vapors in the
marketing and distribution sectors of the petroleum industry,the American Petroleum Institute sponsored a
cohort mortality study(Publication 4555), a nested case-control study(Publication 4551), and an exposure
assessment study(Publication 4552). Histories of exposure to gasoline were reconstructed for cohort of
more than 18,000 employees from four companies for the time period between 1946 and 1985. The results
of the cohort mortality study indicated that there was no increased mortality from either kidney cancer or
leukemia among marketing and marine distribution employees who were exposed to gasoline in the
petroleum industry,when compared to the general population. More importantly, based on internal
comparisons, there was no association between mortality from kidney cancer or leukemia and various
indices of gasoline exposure. In particular, neither duration of employment, duration of exposure, age at
first exposure, year of first exposure,job category, cumulative exposure,frequency of peak exposure, nor
average intensity of exposure had any effect on kidney cancer or leukemia mortality. The results of the
nested case-control study confirmed the findings of the original cohort study. That is, exposure to gasoline
at the levels experienced by this cohort of distribution workers is not a significant risk factor for leukemia(all
cell types), acute myeloid leukemia, kidney cancer or multiple myeloma.
This product contains cyclohexane.
Cyclohexane primarily affects the central nervous systems of laboratory animals and humans. Acute or
prolonged inhalation of cyclohexane at levels below the recommended exposure limits does not result in
toxic effects while acute exposures to levels above these recommended limits can cause reversible central
nervous system depression. Prolonged exposures of laboratory animals to high levels (up to low thousands
of parts per million) have also caused reversible effects which included hyperactivity, diminished response
to stimuli, and adaptive liver changes while very high levels (high thousands of parts per million)were fatal.
No developmental effects were seen in rats or rabbits following exposures of up to 7000 ppm cyclohexane.
Revision Number: 47 9 of 16 CHEVRON and TEXACO PREMIUM
Revision Date: MARCH 18,2015 UNLEADED GASOLINES
SDS: 2653
No reproductive effects occurred in rats, although postnatal pup growth was reduced at 7000 ppm in a
similar manner as observed in the parental animals. Cyclohexane has not been shown to be mutagenic in
several in vitro and in vivo assays and has not produced tumors in several dermal application long-term
bioassays. Based on these results and the lack of any mutagenic or genotoxic metabolites, cyclohexane is
not expected to be mutagenic or genotoxic. Following dermal exposure, cyclohexane is rapidly absorbed,
metabolized,and excreted.
This product contains naphthalene.
GENERAL TOXICITY: Exposure to naphthalene has been reported to cause methemoglobinemia and/or
hemolytic anemia, especially in humans deficient in the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Laboratory animals given repeated oral doses of naphthalene have developed cataracts. REPRODUCTIVE
TOXICITY AND BIRTH DEFECTS: Naphthalene did not cause birth defects when administered orally to
rabbits, rats, and mice during pregnancy, but slightly reduced litter size in mice at dose levels that were
lethal to the pregnant females. Naphthalene has been reported to cross the human placenta. GENETIC
TOXICITY: Naphthalene caused chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese
hamster ovary cells, but was not a mutagen in several other in-vitro tests.CARCINOGENICITY: In a study
conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), mice exposed to 10 or 30 ppm of naphthalene by
inhalation daily for two years had chronic inflammation of the nose and lungs and increased incidences of
metaplasia in those tissues. The incidence of benign lung tumors(alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas)was
significantly increased in the high-dose female group but not in the male groups. In another two-year
inhalation study conducted by NTP, exposure of rats to 10, 30, and 60 ppm naphthalene caused increases
in the incidences of a variety of nonneoplastic lesions in the nose. Increases in nasal tumors were seen in
both sexes, including olfactory neuroblastomas in females at 60 ppm and adenomas of the respiratory
epithelium in males at all exposure levels. The relevance of these effects to humans has not been
established. No carcinogenic effect was reported in a 2-year feeding study in rats receiving naphthalene at
41 mg/kg/day.
This product contains ethanol(ethyl alcohol).
Chronic ingestion of ethanol can damage the liver, nervous system and heart. Chronic heavy consumption
of alcoholic beverages has been associated with an increased risk of cancer. Ingestion of ethanol during
pregnancy can cause human birth defects such as fetal alcohol syndrome.
This product contains butane.
An atmospheric concentration of 100,000 ppm (10%) butane is not noticeably irritating to the eyes, nose or
respiratory tract, but will produce slight dizziness in a few minutes of exposure. No chronic systemic effect
has been reported from occupational exposure.
This product contains n-hexane.
TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY: Prolonged or repeated ingestion, skin contact or breathing of vapors of
n-hexane has been shown to cause peripheral neuropathy. Recovery ranges from no recovery to complete
recovery depending upon the severity of the nerve damage. Exposure to 1000 ppm n-hexane for 18 hr/day
for 61 days has been shown to cause testicular damage in rats. However,when rats were exposed to
higher concentrations for shorter daily periods(10,000 ppm for 6 h/day, 5 days/wk for 13 weeks), no
testicular lesions were seen.
CARCINOGENICITY: Chronic exposure to commercial hexane(52% n-hexane)at a concentration of
9000ppm was not carcinogenic to rats or to male mice, but did result in an increased incidence of liver
tumors in female mice. No carcinogenic effects were observed in female mice exposed to 900 or 3000 ppm
hexane or in male mice. The relevance for humans of these hexane-induced mouse liver tumors is
questionable.
GENETIC TOXICITY: n-Hexane caused chromosome aberrations in bone marrow of rats, but was negative
in the AMES and mouse lymphoma tests.
This product contains toluene.
Revision Number: 47 10 of 16 CHEVRON and TEXACO PREMIUM
Revision Date: MARCH 18,2015 UNLEADED GASOLINES
SDS: 2653
GENERAL TOXICITY: The primary effects of exposure to toluene in animals and humans are on the
central nervous system. Solvent abusers,who typically inhale high concentrations(thousands of ppm)for
brief periods of time, in addition to experiencing respiratory tract irritation, often suffer permanent central
nervous system effects that include tremors, staggered gait, impaired speech, hearing and vision loss, and
changes in brain tissue. Death in some solvent abusers has been attributed to cardiac arrhythmias,which
appear to be have been triggered by epinephrine acting on solvent sensitized cardiac tissue.Although liver
and kidney effects have been seen in some solvent abusers, results of animal testing with toluene do not
support these as primary target organs.
HEARING: Humans who were occupationally exposed to concentrations of toluene as low as 100 ppm for
long periods of time have experienced hearing deficits. Hearing loss, as demonstrated using behavioral and
electrophysiological testing as well as by observation.of structural damage to cochlear hair cells, occurred
in experimental animals exposed to toluene. It also appears that toluene exposure and noise may interact
to produce hearing deficits.
COLOR VISION: In a single study of workers exposed to toluene at levels under 50 ppm, small decreases
in the ability to discriminate colors in the blue-yellow range have been reported for female workers.This
effect,which should be investigated further, is very subtle and would not likely have been noticed by the
people tested.
REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Toluene may also cause mental and/or growth
retardation in the children of female solvent abusers who directly inhale toluene(usually at thousands of
ppm)when they are pregnant. Toluene caused growth retardation in rats and rabbits when administered at
doses that were toxic to the mothers. In rats, concentrations of up to 5000 ppm did not cause birth defects.
No effects were observed in the offspring at doses that did not intoxicate the pregnant animals. The
exposure level at which no effects were seen (No Observed Effect Level, NOEL) is 750 ppm in the rat and
500 ppm in the rabbit.
This product contains xylene.
ACUTE TOXICITY: The primary effects of exposure to xylene in animals and humans are on the central
nervous system. In addition,in some individuals, xylene exposure can sensitize cardiac tissue to
epinephrine which may precipitate fatal ventricular fibrillation. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Xylene has
been reported to cause developmental toxicity in rats and mice exposed by inhalation during pregnancy.
The effects noted consisted of delayed development and minor skeletal variations. In addition,when
pregnant mice were exposed by ingestion to a level that killed nearly one-third of the test group, lethality
(resorptions)and malformations(primarily cleft palate)occurred. Since xylene can cross the placenta, it
may be appropriate to prevent exposure during pregnancy. GENETIC TOXICITY/CARCINOGENICITY:
Xylene was not genotoxic in several mutagenicity testing assays including the Ames test. In a cancer study
sponsored by the National Toxicology Program (NTP),technical grade xylene gave no evidence of
carcinogenicity in rats or mice dosed daily for two years. HEARING: Mixed xylenes have been shown to
cause measurable hearing loss in rats exposed to 800 ppm in the air for 14 hours per day for six weeks.
Exposure to 1450 ppm xylene for 8 hours caused hearing loss while exposure to 1700 ppm for 4 hours did
not. Although no information is available for lower concentrations, other chemicals that cause hearing loss
in rats at relatively high concentrations do not cause hearing loss in rats at low concentrations.Worker
exposure to xylenes at the permissible exposure limit(100 ppm, time-weighted average) is not expected to
cause hearing loss.
This product contains benzene.
GENETIC TOXICITY/CANCER: Repeated or prolonged breathing of benzene vapor has been associated
with the development of chromosomal damage in experimental animals and various blood diseases in
humans ranging from aplastic anemia to leukemia(a form of cancer).All of these diseases can be fatal. In
some individuals, benzene exposure can sensitize cardiac tissue to epinephrine which may precipitate fatal
ventricular fibrillation.
REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: No birth defects have been shown to occur in pregnant
laboratory animals exposed to doses not toxic to the mother. However, some evidence of fetal toxicity such
as delayed physical development has been seen at such levels. The available information on the effects of

benzene on human pregnancies is inadequate but it has been established that benzene can cross the
human placenta.
OCCUPATIONAL: The OSHA Benzene Standard (29 CFR 1910.1028)contains detailed requirements for
training, exposure monitoring, respiratory protection and medical surveillance triggered by the exposure
level. Refer to the OSHA Standard before using this product.
This product contains ethylbenzene.
BIRTH DEFECTS AND REPRODUCTION: Ethylbenzene is not expected to cause birth defects or other
developmental effects based on well-conducted studies in rabbits and rats sponsored by NIOSH. Other
studies in rats and mice which reported urinary tract malformations have many deficiencies and have
limited usefulness in evaluating human risk. Reproductive effects are not expected based on a NIOSH
study of fertility, and lack of effects observed for sperm counts and motility, estrous cycle and pathology of
reproductive organs following repeated exposures. HEARING: Statistically significant losses in outer hair
cells(OHCS)were observed in rats exposed to>=200 ppm ethylbenzene, 6 hours/day,6 days/week for 13
weeks, after an 8-week recovery period. Following longer exposure, inner hair cells losses were also
observed in rats exposed to >=600 ppm ethylbenzene, but only occasionally in rats exposed to 400 ppm.
The Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level in rats(LOAEL)was 200 ppm for losses of OHCs. Guinea pigs
exposed to ethylbenzene at 2,500 ppm, 6 hours/day for 5 days did not show auditory deficits or losses in
OHCs. The concentration of ethylbenzene used in the JP-8 study was approximately 10 ppm. GENETIC
TOXICITY: Ethylbenzene tested negative in the bacterial mutation test, Chinese Hamster Ovary(CHO)cell
in vitro assay, sister chromatid exchange assay and an unscheduled DNA synthesis assay. Conflicting
results have been reported for the mouse lymphoma cell assay. Increased micronuclei were reported in an
in vitro Syrian hamster embryo cell assay; however, two in vivo micronuclei studies in mice were negative.
In Syrian hamster embryo cells in vitro, cell transformation was observed at 7 days of incubation but not at
24 hours. Based on these results, ethylbenzene is not expected to be mutagenic or clastogenic.
CARCINOGENICITY: In studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program, rats and mice were
exposed to ethylbenzene at 25, 250 and 750 ppm for six hours per day,five days per week for 103 weeks.
In rats exposed to 750 ppm, the incidence of kidney tubule hyperplasia and tumors was increased.
Testicular tumors develop spontaneously in nearly all rats if allowed to complete their natural life span; in
this study,the development of these tumors appeared to be enhanced in male rats exposed to 750 ppm. In
mice,the incidences of lung tumors in males and liver tumors in females exposed to 750 ppm were
increased as compared to control mice but were within the range of incidences observed historically in
control mice. Other liver effects were observed in male mice exposed to 250 and 750 ppm.The incidences
of hyperplasia were increased in the pituitary gland in female mice at 250 and 750 ppm and in the thyroid in
male and female mice at 750 ppm.

PERSISTENCE AND DEGRADABILITY
This material is expected to be readily biodegradable. Following spillage, the more volatile components of
gasoline will be rapidly lost,with concurrent dissolution of these and other constituents into the water.
Factors such as local environmental conditions (temperature, wind, mixing or wave action, soil type, etc),
photo-oxidation, biodegradation and adsorption onto suspended sediments, can contribute to the
weathering of spilled gasoline.
The aqueous solubility of non-oxygenated unleaded gasoline, based on analysis of benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene+xylenes and naphthalene, is reported to be 112 mg/I. Solubility data on individual gasoline

Inhalation:
Inhalation of vapors (generated at high temperatures only) or oil mist may
cause mild irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract.
Eye Irritation:
Lubricating oils are generally considered no more than minimally irritating to
the eyes.
Skin Contact:
Lubricating oils are generally considered no more than minimally irritating to
the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in defatting and drying
of the skin that may cause various skin disorders such as dermatitis,
( folliculitis or oil acne.
Ingestion:
Lubricating oils are generally no more than slightly toxic if swallowed.
Other Health Effects:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined there is
sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity in experimental animals of used
gasoline motor oils. Handling procedures and safety precautions in the MSDS
should be followed to minimize exposure to the used product.
Material may release hydrogen sulfide (H2S) , a highly toxic and extremely
flammable gas, when heated to 180 Degrees F or higher. H2S can cause
irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, headache, dizziness, nausea,
vomitting, diarrhea, and pulmonary edema. The odor ("rotten egg") threshold
is 0.02 ppm. Do not depend on sense of smell for warning; H2S rapidly
deadens the sense of smell.
Signs and Symptoms:
Irritation as noted above.
Aggravated Medical Conditions:

material in suitable containers for recycle,reuse,or disposal.
Section VIL Handling and Storage J
PRECAUTIONS If user operations generate dust,fume or mist,use ventilation to keep exposure to airbome
contaminants below the exposure limit. Keep out of reach of children.
STORAGE Store in a dry,cool and well ventilated area. Keep away from incompatible materials such as
reducing agents. Do not blend or store in contact with ammonium nitrate. Dry urea and dry
ammonium nitrate will react together to produce a slurry.
Section VIM Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep
airbome levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust,use
ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
PERSONAL PROTECTION The selection of personal protective equipment varies, depending upon conditions of use.
Under well controlled conditions where contact with the substance is limited and exposures are
below the occupational exposure limit, normal work clothing may suffice. Where skin and eye
contact may occur as a result of brief periodic exposures,wear long sleeved clothing or
coveralls and safety glasses with side shields.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. A filtering facepiece dust mask is
adequate for most applications. A NIOSH approved full facepiece or half mask dust respirator
with N-100 or P-100 filters should be used under conditions where airborne concentrations
may exceed occupational exposure limits. For U.S facilities,a respiratory protection program
that meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requirements must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use.
PERSONAL PROTECTION IN No additional recommendations.

SIGNIFICANT ROUTES OF Ingestion. Inhalation.
EXPOSURE
TOXICITY TO ANIMALS See Section II. Under controlled feeding conditions,urea is used as a nutritional supplement
in cattle and other animals. The toxic dose in cattle given urea for the first time is considered
to be 0.45 g/kg or a total of 100-200 g. Mature bulls can digest as much as 400 g a day
without ill effect. As little as 50 g may cause adverse effects in cattle not accustomed to it.
Animal Antidote and Emergency Treatment:
In animals,the cold water-acetic acid treatment may work. The adult cow is given 19-38
liters cold water and 3.8 liters of 5%acetic acid (vinegar)orally. This treatment limits
absorption of ammonia from the rumen by diluting the rumen contents and slowing the rate of
hydrolysis of urea by decreasing rumen pH and temperature. The treatment also promotes
urine flow that, if maintained by fluid therapy, may assure recovery from urea toxicity.
Gaseous or fluid bloat should be relieved before pumping water into the rumen. Consult your
veterinarian immediately.

IUrea, Granular 46-0-0 Page Number:5
SPECIAL REMARKS ON Very low toxicity for humans or animals under normal conditions of careful,responsible use.
TOXICITY TO ANIMALS Urea is used in small quantities as a feed suppliment for livestock. Urea ingestion may be
harmful to wildlife, livestock and birds at body burdens of several thousands of mg/kg if
ingested without adeqate mixing. Clean up all spilled material,especially where bulk fertilizer
loading of equipment occurs to prevent animal overexposure. If used for the manufacture of
feeds, mix thoroughly by making a preblend with one of the ingredients,then adding and
mixing the preblend with all other ingredients. Equivalent protein from Urea should not exceed
one-third of the protein in the mixture.

SIGNIFICANT ROUTES OF Ingestion. Inhalation.
EXPOSURE
TOXICITY TO ANIMALS See Section II. Under controlled feeding conditions,urea is used as a nutritional supplement
in cattle and other animals. The toxic dose in cattle given urea for the first time is considered
to be 0.45 g/kg or a total of 100-200 g. Mature bulls can digest as much as 400 g a day
without ill effect. As little as 50 g may cause adverse effects in cattle not accustomed to it.
Animal Antidote and Emergency Treatment:
In animals,the cold water-acetic acid treatment may work. The adult cow is given 19-38
liters cold water and 3.8 liters of 5%acetic acid (vinegar)orally. This treatment limits
absorption of ammonia from the rumen by diluting the rumen contents and slowing the rate of
hydrolysis of urea by decreasing rumen pH and temperature. The treatment also promotes
urine flow that, if maintained by fluid therapy, may assure recovery from urea toxicity.
Gaseous or fluid bloat should be relieved before pumping water into the rumen. Consult your
veterinarian immediately.

SPECIAL REMARKS ON Very low toxicity for humans or animals under normal conditions of careful,responsible use.
TOXICITY TO ANIMALS Urea is used in small quantities as a feed suppliment for livestock. Urea ingestion may be
harmful to wildlife, livestock and birds at body burdens of several thousands of mg/kg if
ingested without adeqate mixing. Clean up all spilled material,especially where bulk fertilizer
loading of equipment occurs to prevent animal overexposure. If used for the manufacture of
feeds, mix thoroughly by making a preblend with one of the ingredients,then adding and
mixing the preblend with all other ingredients. Equivalent protein from Urea should not exceed
one-third of the protein in the mixture.

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;
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;

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, 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.

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-
construction stormwater management measures that will be installed prior to the completion of
the construction process to control pollutants in stormwater discharges after construction
operations have been completed. Structural measures should be placed on upland soils to the
degree possible. Such measures must be designed and installed in accordance with applicable
VESCP authority, VSMP authority, state, and federal requirements, and any necessary permits
must be obtained.
4. Pollution prevention plan. A pollution prevention plan that addresses potential pollutant-generating

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 Ill 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.
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.

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.
