On August 29, 2011 the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board published in the Virginia Register the Final Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Permit Regulations.  These regulations become effective on September 13, 2011, marking the end of a nearly six year process since the Board issued its original Notice of Intended Regulatory Action on November 15, 2005.  The following is an abbreviated summary of the regulations.  The regulations cover many topics, and unfortunately could not all be addressed below.
