Virginia Administrative Code › Title 9 - ENVIRONMENT › Agency 25 - STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD › Chapter 740 - WATER RECLAMATION AND REUSE REGULATION › Part I - Definitions and General Program Requirements › Section 9VAC25-740-30 - Applicability and transition

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. The
				  requirements of this chapter shall apply to water reclamation systems,
				  reclaimed water distribution systems, and water reuse unless specifically
				  excluded under
				  9VAC25-740-50
				  A. The requirements shall apply to all new water reclamation systems, reclaimed
				  water distribution systems and, as applicable, water reuses for which Virginia
				  Pollution Abatement (VPA) or Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
				  (VPDES) permit applications are received after October 1, 2008. The
				  requirements may also be applied to all existing permitted facilities
				  producing, distributing or using reclaimed water through a permit modification
				  or reissuance procedure and shall be applied when such facilities are to be
				  modified or expanded unless specifically excluded under
				  9VAC25-740-50
				  A. The owners of existing water reclamation systems, reclaimed water
				  distribution systems and, as applicable, water reuses that do not have a VPA or
				  VPDES permit shall submit a complete VPA or VPDES permit application or other
				  necessary information as prescribed under
				  9VAC25-740-40
				  within 180 days of being requested by the department.
B. For the purposes of this chapter:
1. The incorporation of standards, monitoring
				  requirements and special conditions for water reclamation and reuse into a VPA
				  permit shall be considered a minor modification unless they alter other
				  conditions of the permit specifically related to the pollutant management
				  activity for which the permit was originally issued.
2. Standards, monitoring requirements and
				  special conditions for water reclamation and reuse may be authorized for a
				  VPDES permit through:
a. A modification of
				  the permit where such standards, monitoring requirements, and special
				  conditions would effectively alter other conditions of the permit specifically
				  related to the effluent discharge for which the permit was originally issued,
				  or where the diversion of source water from the VPDES permitted discharge to
				  water reclamation and reuse has the potential to cause a significant adverse
				  impact to other beneficial uses of the receiving state water, or both;
				  or
b. An administrative
				  authorization where such standards, monitoring requirements, and special
				  conditions would not alter other conditions of the permit specifically related
				  to the effluent discharge for which the permit was originally issued, and where
				  the diversion of source water from the VPDES permitted discharge to water
				  reclamation and reuse does not have the potential to cause a significant
				  adverse impact to other beneficial uses of the receiving state water. The
				  administrative authorization shall have the full effect of the VPDES permit
				  until such time that it is incorporated into the VPDES permit through
				  reissuance or modification.
3. Modification of a VPA or VPDES permit or
				  the issuance of an administrative authorization associated with a VPDES permit
				  described in subdivisions 1 and 2 of this subsection shall require an
				  application in accordance with
				  9VAC25-740-100.
