VIRGINIA STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY THE BOARD (§
62.1-44.15:27.1)

A. The Board shall administer a Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) on
behalf of any locality that notifies the Department pursuant to subsection B of
§ 62.1-44.15:27 that it has chosen to not administer a VESMP as provided by
subdivision B 3 of § 62.1-44.15:27. In such a locality:

   1. The Board shall implement a VSMP in order to manage the quality and
   quantity of stormwater runoff resulting from any land-disturbing activity that
   (i) disturbs one acre or more of land or (ii) disturbs less than one acre of
   land and is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that results
   in one acre or greater of land disturbance, as required by this article.

   2. No person shall conduct a land-disturbing activity until he has obtained
   land-disturbance approval from the VESCP authority and, if required, submitted
   to the Department an application that includes a permit registration statement
   and stormwater management plan, and the Department has issued permit coverage.

B. The Board shall adopt regulations establishing specifications for the VSMP,
including permit requirements and requirements for plan review, inspection, and
enforcement that reflect the analogous stormwater management requirements for a
VESMP set forth in applicable provisions of this article.
