Erosion and Stormwater Management Plan Modification No. 1 Approval
Dear Mr. Barnum:
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has reviewed the revised Erosion and Stormwater
Management (ESM) Plan Modification No. 1 (Plan) received November 19, 2024 in accordance with the
Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act and attendant Regulation. The Plan received
November 19, 2024 with latest revision date of November 19, 2024 and signed seal date of November 19, 2024 is hereby approved for 1.81 acres of land disturbance and a copy is enclosed. No changes may be made to the approved Plan without obtaining prior approval from DEQ.
Additionally, approval of the Plan does not relieve the operator of complying with all other federal, state, or local laws and regulations. Compliance with the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater
Management Regulations (9VAC25-875) does not supersede the Virginia Water Protection
Program Regulation (9VAC25-210) in the event of a discharge that impacts state waters.
In order for the DEQ Central Office Stormwater permitting staff to process your registration statement and issue Construction General Permit coverage for this project, please email a copy of the Affidavit of
Sale for the purchase of nutrient credits to ConstructionGP@deq.virginia.gov and include the plan approval number 2020-0097 in the email. Land disturbance may not begin until you have received the permit coverage letter.
As provided by Rule 2A:2 of the Supreme Court of Virginia, you have thirty (30) days from the date you received this decision within which to appeal this decision by filing a notice of appeal in accordance with the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia with the Director, Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality.
