Construction General Permit - Draft Regulations
Earlier this year, HBAV was asked to serve on the Department of Environmental Quality’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to assist the Department in development of a draft regulation for a general permit. The current General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities expires on June 30, 2019. The regulation establishing this permit must be amended to reissue the general permit for another five-year term. The TAC started meeting in January and there are several meetings scheduled for the next several months.
If you are interested in reviewing the changes that have been discussed or proposed so far, please contact HBAV’s Vice President of Government Affairs, Andrew Clark, at
