 DEPARTMENT TO SERVE AS LEAD AGENCY FOR INSPECTIONS UNDERTAKEN SUBSEQUENT TO THE
ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT (§ 45.2-106)

Following the issuance of any permit under Chapter 10 (§ 45.2-1000 et seq.) or
12 (§ 45.2-1200 et seq.), the Department shall serve as the lead agency for
enforcement of the provisions of the permit. Any other agency that has reviewed
and approved, or not disapproved, a permit application prior to its approval by
the Director shall contact the Director or his designee prior to making any
routine inspection. The Director or his designee shall then contact the
permittee, if prior contact is to be made, to schedule the inspection and shall
accompany any employee of any agency other than the Department during any
inspection by such other agency. However, nothing in this section shall apply in
the event of a blackwater discharge, a failure of a waste treatment facility, or
any situation that in the judgment of the State Water Control Board requires an
inspection on an emergency or expedited basis.
