Beginning October 1, 2006...
A Virginia Storm Water Management Permit (VSMP) is required under any of the following
circumstances:
When a land disturbing activity is regulated by §10.1-603.8 of the Code of Virginia and:
- When the area of land disturbance exceeds one (1) acre.
- When the location of the land disturbance is on a lot, which is part of a subdivision,
regardless of the amount of area being disturbed.
- Generally, the number of VSMP in a subdivision will equal the number of lots plus one for the developer's work creating the subdivision.
- The developer's VSMP would not be required if no land is being disturbed when creating the subdivision, i.e. - no roads or common areas.
- If a contractor/developer purchases or applies for building permits for multiple, contiguous lots in the same subdivision, DCR will allow that contractor/developer to obtain one (1) VSMP for all of the combined lots.
- A VSMP does not replace or negate the requirement for either a Land Disturbing Permit or an Agreement in Lieu waiver.
Building Permits cannot be issued without the VSMP Permit. You may get additional information from DCR on their website at www.dcr.virginia.gov/soil_&_water/vsmp.shtml or you may contact them at 804-786-1712.
The following three links will provide access to Virginia's Department of Conservation and Recreation website and the appropriate forms that you might need to obtain a VSMP Permit which you will need to provide to Louisa County.
