These proposed ordinances would repeal County Code Sections 17-208, 17-302, 17-303, 17-810, and 17-903, and would amend County Code Sections 1-503, 17-101, 17-102, 17-103, 17-104, 17-105, 17-200, 17-201, 17-202, 17-203, 17-204, 17-205, 17-207, 17-211, 17-300, 17-301, 17-304, 17-305, 17-306, 17-400, 17-401, 17-402, 17-403, 17-404, 17-405, 17-407, 17-408, 17-410, 17-411, 17-413, 17-415, 17-416, 17-417, 17-418, 17-419, 17-421, 17-422, 17-423, 17-424, 17-500, 17-501, 17-502, 17-600, 17-602, 17-701, 17-800, 17-801, 17-802, 17-803, 17-804, 17-805, 17-806, 17-808, 17-809, 17-811, 17-813, 17-814, 17-900, 17-901, 17-902, and 17-904, among others, by replacing existing references to the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Program (VESCP) and the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) (and the documents and processes associated with each) with references to the new consolidated Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program (VESMP) (and its associated documents and processes). The proposed ordinances would also incorporate updated state regulations on the General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities. The proposed ordinances would also make non-substantive clarifications and have a delayed effective date of July 1, 2024.
