Vermont Construction Storm Water Permit (6-VT-b)
In Vermont, a developer may need a Vermont General Permit 3-9020 for Stormwater Runoff from Construction Sites (Construction General Permit) from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), a department within the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), for stormwater discharges from construction activities that result in a total land disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre or that are part of a larger common plan of development that will disturb one or more acres, where those discharges enter state waters or a conveyance leading to state waters. 10 V.S.A. § 1264(d)(1)(D); NPDES Stormwater General Permits for Construction Guidelines; Construction General Permit; 10 V.S.A. § 1264(c)(4. The DEC issues NPDES permits for all proposed non-federal projects in Vermont. 10 V.S.A. § 1258(b). Projects that disturb less than one acre of land generally do not need a permit, but the DEC may still require a developer to obtain a Construction General Permit if the Secretary of the ANR determines that the project may contribute to a violation of a water quality standard, contribute pollutants to surface waters of the state, or exceed wasteload allocations (“total maximum daily loads”). Construction General Permit § 1.4(A)(2); 40 CFR 122.26(a)(1)(v),(b)(15)(ii); See generally Construction General Permit.
Prior to applying for permit coverage, the developer should complete a Project Risk Evaluation in order to determine if the proposed construction activities constitute: Low Risk, Moderate Risk, or whether an Individual permit is required. Determining the risk level of the proposed construction activity defines the application and permit requirements for the developer’s project. The Project Risk Evaluation will determine a number of key risk and mitigation factors about the developer’s project, including whether the construction activities are within impaired waters, or whether the discharge is temporary. Low Risk and Moderate Risk projects are eligible for Construction General Permit (CGP). 6-VT-b.2 to 6-VT-b.3 — Does the Project Qualify for a Construction General Permit (CGP) (3-9020)?; Individual Discharge Permit?
Construction activity may not commence until an authorization to discharge is issued pursuant to a CGP or Individual Permit. 6-VT-b.4 — Notice of Intent (NOI) and Fee
Name of landowner(s) and principal operator(s) and contact information; Project location information, description of construction project, projected date of construction commencement and final stabilization;
See Construction General Permit; Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-002 § 13.2(c). Low Risk Projects
See Construction General Permit, Subpart 3.2.
The developer should submit the applicable Permit Fee with the NOI to the DEC by check or by online payment (if available). See 3 V.S.A. § 2822(j).
Developers must submit a complete and accurate NOI. The Secretary of ANR may require a developer (applicant) to submit supplemental information that the Secretary considers necessary in order to make a decision on the eligibility for, or the issuance or denial of, an authorization to discharge pursuant to the CGP. Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-002 § 13.2(d). The Secretary of ANR may deny an authorization to discharge pursuant to a CGP if the additional information requested is not provided to the Secretary within sixty (60) days, or if the additional information received is inadequate. Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-002 § 13.2(d). 6-VT-b.7 to 6-VT-b.8— Submit Notice of Intent (NOI) to Municipal Clerk
The Secretary of ANR retains the right to retroactively revoke an authorization to discharge under the CGP and take appropriate enforcement action if the developer fails to provide notice to the municipal clerk. See Construction General Permit, Subpart 3.3.A; Condition 5 Appendix D; Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-002 § 13.4(d)(5). In addition, the developer must make the EPSC Plan for Moderate Risk projects available for public review at the DEC offices during normal business hours. Construction General Permit, Subpart 3.2.E.
The Secretary of ANR must provide an opportunity for a ten (10) day written public comment period for the CGP and a thirty (30) day written comment period for Individual Permit application on the NOI and all necessary attachments, including, if applicable, the EPSC Plan. Public comments must be submitted in writing either in person or by mail to the DEC Watershed Management Division, Stormwater Program within ten (10) days of receipt of notice by the municipal clerk. The Secretary of ANR may extend or reopen the public comment period, in doing so the Secretary will notify all interested parties. Construction General Permit, Subpart 3.2.E; Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-002 § 13.3(c)(2). In addition, a letter of interest may be filed if an interested party, who does not provide written comment, wants to be notified if the comment period is extended or reopened for any reason. NOI for Low Risk Projects,NOI for Moderate Risk Projects; Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-022 Rule 13.11(c); see also Vermont Water Pollution Control Permit Regulations, CVR 12-033-002 § 13.3(c)(2),(f)-(h).
If the owner (developer) of the construction site obtains coverage under a CGP and the owner (developer) is not the principal operator or the sole principal operator, then all principal operators must also obtain coverage as co-permittees in accordance with Construction General Permit, Subpart 7.2, prior to the commencement of construction activities. Construction General Permit, Subpart 7.2. A co-permittee is subject to all the terms and conditions of a CGP and the EPSC Plan, if any. Construction General Permit, Subpart 7.2. 6-VT-b.11 — Record Authorization to Discharge in Local Land Records
Any interested person may appeal the CGP decision within thirty (30) days of the determination by ANR to the Vermont Environmental Court. Appeals to the Environmental Division, 10 V.S.A. § 8504(a). 6-VT-b.13 — Hold Pre-construction Conference
After a permit is issued the DEC holds a pre-construction conference with the developer before construction can commence. During the meeting the district reviewer, developer, on-site plan coordinators and EPSC specialist review the terms and conditions of the permit and discuss reporting expectations. 6-VT-b.14 — Notice of Termination (NOT)
If the NOT is for only a portion of an ongoing construction, a description of the portion of the site to which the NOT will apply. Construction General Permit, Subpart 7.5.
