Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Virginia
				  Pollution Abatement (VPA) Permit Regulation (9VAC25-32). The VPA Permit
				  Regulation delineates the procedures and requirements to be followed in
				  connection with the VPA permits issued by the department pursuant to the State
				  Water Control Law. Any treatment works treating domestic, municipal or
				  industrial wastewater that produces reclaimed water or a facility that
				  distributes reclaimed water in a manner that does not result in a discharge to
				  surface waters shall obtain a VPA permit. Design, operation, and maintenance
				  standards prescribed by this chapter for water reclamation and reuse shall be
				  incorporated into the VPA permit application and the VPA permit when
				  applicable. Water reclamation and reuse requirements contained in a VPA permit
				  shall be enforced through existing enforcement mechanisms of the
				  permit.
B. Virginia Pollutant
				  Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) Permit Regulation (9VAC25-31). The VPDES
				  Permit Regulation delineates the procedures and requirements to be followed in
				  connection with VPDES permits issued by the department pursuant to the Clean
				  Water Act and the State Water Control Law. Any treatment works treating
				  domestic, municipal, or industrial wastewater that produces reclaimed water and
				  has a discharge to surface waters or a reclaimed water distribution system that
				  has a discharge to surface waters shall obtain a VPDES permit. Design,
				  operation, and maintenance standards for water reclamation and reuse shall be
				  incorporated into the VPDES permit application and the VPDES permit when
				  applicable. Water reclamation and reuse requirements contained in a VPDES
				  permit shall be enforced through existing enforcement mechanisms of the
				  permit.
C. Sewage Collection and
				  Treatment Regulations (9VAC25-790). The Sewage Collection and Treatment
				  Regulations establish standards for the operation, construction, or
				  modification of a sewerage system or treatment works, including land treatment
				  systems. This chapter prescribes design, operation and maintenance standards
				  for water reclamation and reuse.
D.
				  Regulation for Nutrient Enriched Waters and Dischargers within the Chesapeake
				  Bay Watershed (9VAC25-40). Sections 62.1-44.19:12 through 62.1-44.19:19 of the
				  Code of Virginia, which establishes the Regulation for Nutrient Enriched Waters
				  and Dischargers within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed (9VAC25-40), allows for
				  credit to be given for reductions in total nitrogen and total phosphorus
				  discharged loads through recycle or reuse of wastewater when determining
				  technology requirements associated with new or expanded discharges.
E. General VPDES Watershed Permit Regulation
				  for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus Discharges and Nutrient Trading in the
				  Chesapeake Bay Watershed in Virginia (9VAC25-820). The General VPDES Watershed
				  Permit Regulation for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus Discharges and
				  Nutrient Trading in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed in Virginia regulates point
				  sources of nutrients and establishes a framework for nutrient credit trading
				  and offsets. Water reclamation and reuse provides an opportunity to reduce
				  point source nutrient loads.
F.
				  Local and Regional Water Supply Planning (9VAC25-780). The Local and Regional
				  Water Supply Planning regulation requires every county, city, and town to
				  develop a water plan in accordance with established planning criteria. Where
				  appropriate, the plan may consider nontraditional means of increasing supplies
				  such as interconnection, desalination, recycling and reuse.
G. Water Withdrawal Reporting (9VAC25-200).
				  The Water Withdrawal Reporting regulation requires industrial VPDES permittees
				  to annually report to the board the source and location of water withdrawals
				  and the type of use information specified by 9VAC25-200. Where the VPDES
				  permitted discharge volume deviates by greater than ± 10% of the water
				  withdrawal volume, the permittee is required to report the deviation.
