Resolution R09-321 reads as follows:

A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR

TO PROVIDE COMMENTS TO THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF

CONSERVATION AND RECREATION ON PROPOSED REVISIONS

TO THE VIRGINIA STORMWATER MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS

WHEREAS, the County of Stafford is subject to the requirements Virginia Stormwater Management Law and Regulations; and

WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has been tasked with promulgating revisions to the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations; and

WHEREAS, a public notice of proposed regulatory action was advertised in the Virginia Register; and

WHEREAS, the time period for public comments on the proposed revisions to the Virginia Stormwater ManagementRegulations expires on August 21, 2009; and

WHEREAS, the Board has concerns with the administrative requirements of the proposed regulations and desires to provide comments to DCR;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors on this the 18^thday of August, 2009, that the County Administrator be and he hereby is authorized to provide the following comments on proposed revisions to the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation:

The proposed regulations (4VAC-50-60-800 et seq.) establish prescriptive fees for localities that administer the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) including stormwater plan review, program administration, and inspection activities. We recommend that the regulations do not prescribe specific fees for these services and that localities be allowed to establish their own fee schedules commensurate with the cost of providing the necessary services. If the regulations must provide prescriptive fees, we recommend that the proposed fees be increased.
In addition to setting fee amounts, the proposed regulations (4VAC50-60-780) also specify that 28% of the fees that the County collects for administering the VSMP program shall be returned to DCR for program administration and oversight. We feel that remitting 28% of the collected fees to DCR for oversight is excessive. DCR currently provides oversight of our Erosion and Sediment Control program at no direct cost to the County. We feel that all of these funds should be kept by the County for our own stormwater program needs. If DCR must collect funds to support program administration and oversight, we recommend that their portion of the collected amount be much lower than 28%.
The proposed regulations (4VAC50-60-800 and 4VAC 50-60-830) also propose an increase in fees for the County’s VSMP Municipal Stormwater Discharge Permit (NPDES permit) from the current amount of $600 to $4,000. In addition, the proposed regulations also establish an annual “permit maintenance” fee of $4000 per year. Effectively, this would increases the permit fees for the County’s NPDES permit from $600 to $20,000 for the 5 year permit term. We believe that such a significant increase in municipal permit fees is excessive.
A significant amount of “guidance” is being developed to support these regulations (i.e. State Stormwater Handbook, BMP Clearinghouse Database); however, this “guidance” is not widely available to be reviewed or in some cases has not yet been prepared. Since the regulations rely heavily on the “guidance” it is difficult to fully evaluate them without also having the “guidance”. We feel that all “guidance” documents needed to support the regulations should be available for review and comment prior to adoption of the regulations.
The proposed regulations (4VAC50-60-10 and 4VAC50-60-66) provide definitions for the terms “stable” and “unstable” in the context of natural or restored receiving stream channel. We believe that the terms, as currently defined, are vague and could allow for subjectivity during the stormwater plan preparation and review process. We recommend that the regulations provide more detailed definitions of these terms and, if necessary, that additional guidance on implementing this portion of the stormwater quantity control requirements be prepared.
