				  landowners or operators who fully implement and maintain the applicable
				  components of their resource management plans, in accordance with the criteria
				  for such plans set out in § 10.1-104.8 of the Code of Virginia and any
				  requirements of this chapter, shall be deemed to be in full compliance with any
				  load allocation contained in a TMDL established under § 303(d) of the
				  federal Clean Water Act addressing benthic, bacteria, nutrient, or sediment
				  impairments; any requirements of the Virginia Chesapeake Bay TMDL Watershed
				  Implementation Plan; and applicable state water quality requirements for
				  nutrients and sediment.

A. Pursuant to Article 1.1 (§ 10.1-104.7
				et seq.) of Title 10.1 of the Code of Virginia, a resource management plan
				requires the implementation of BMPs sufficient to implement the Virginia
				Chesapeake Bay TMDL Watershed Implementation Plan and other local TMDL water
				quality requirements of the Commonwealth. Pursuant to subdivision B 5 of §
				10.1-104.8 of the Code of Virginia, an RMP shall address all of the following
				BMP requirements when applicable to the management unit and needed based upon
				an on-farm assessment of the following land uses:
1. For all cropland or specialty crops:
a. A nutrient management plan that meets the
				specifications of the Nutrient Management Training and Certification
				Regulations (4VAC5-15);
b. A forest
				or grass buffer between cropland and perennial streams shall be consistent with
				NRCS standards and specifications, except no buffer shall be less than a
				minimum width of 35 feet as measured from the top of the channel bank to the
				edge of the field to meet water quality objectives;
c. A soil conservation plan that achieves a
				maximum soil loss rate to "T" as defined by NRCS and such BMPs necessary to
				address gross erosion when it is present as gullies or other severely eroding
				conditions; and
d. Cover crops,
				when needed to address nutrient management or soil loss requirements, or both,
				that provide for reportable practices which meet best management practice
				specifications as determined by NRCS or the Virginia Agricultural Best
				Management Practices Cost-Share Program.

				needed to verify the implementation of the RMP components necessary to meet the
				minimum standards set out in
				4VAC50-70-40, any documents
				pertaining to revision of the RMP when applicable, and any other referenced
				plans as applicable.
D. Upon the
				completion of the inspection, an inspection report shall be completed in a
				format provided by the department to document the implementation of the current
				RMP on the management unit. A copy of the inspection report shall be provided
				to the department within 10 business days following the date of inspection with
				a copy to the owner or operator when inspections are performed by a soil and
				water conservation district. The inspection report shall include:
1. Confirmation of all BMPs implemented,
				operated, and maintained with a notation of changes in the operation of any
				BMPs included in the RMP; and

A. The department
				shall periodically conduct a comprehensive review of the RMP duties performed
				by each soil and water conservation district to evaluate whether requirements
				set forth by this chapter have been satisfactorily fulfilled. The department
				shall develop a schedule for conducting periodic reviews and evaluations. Each
				district shall receive a comprehensive review at least once every five years;
				however, the department may impose more frequent, partial, or comprehensive
				reviews with cause. Such reviews where applicable shall be coordinated with
				those being implemented by agency staff for other purposes that may include
				annual spot checks of BMPs implemented by districts through the Virginia
				Agricultural BMP Cost Share Program.
B. If a review conducted by the department
				indicates that the soil and water conservation district has not administered,
				enforced where authorized to do so, or conducted its duties in a manner that
				satisfies the requirements set forth within this chapter, the department shall
				document such deficiencies and convey the needed corrective actions in writing
				to the soil and water conservation district's board of directors within 30 days
				following the review.
C. When the
				department determines:
1. The deficiencies
				are due to the district's failure to satisfactorily perform the required duties
				with the resources at its disposal, the department shall provide close
				oversight, guidance, and training as appropriate to enable the district to
				fully perform the duties required by this chapter. If after such actions there
				remains one or more deficiencies that cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of
				the department, the department may delay or withhold RMP allocated funding
				under its authority and control from the district that is not satisfactorily
				performing its RMP duties. Such duties may be assigned to another soil and
				water conservation district. Funds withheld from the district with deficiencies
				may be directed to the district that is performing the additional RMP
				duties.
2. The deficiencies are due
				to a work demand generated by the duties required by this chapter that exceed
				the district's existing resources, the department shall endeavor to assist the
				district in the performance of its duties and in finding a solution to the
				shortage of resources.
