Effective July 1, 2014, Henrico County will administer a Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) as required by the Virginia Stormwater Management Act (§ 62.1-44.15:24 et seq. of the Code of Virginia. The requirements of the program, as well as the other environmental programs implemented in the County, have been described in the Henrico County Environmental Compliance Manual. This manual replaces the Henrico County Environmental Program Manual dated August 2001.
Two Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) templates for use in Henrico are also available – one for construction on single-family residential lots and another for other construction activities such as subdivisions and plans of development.
In addition to the new manual and the SWPPP templates, many administrative forms were also developed or revised as a result of the program:
- Declaration of Covenants for Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities for proprietary/manufactured devices
- Declaration of Covenants for Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities for facilities with safety concerns and access related concerns such as vegetated roofs, wet ponds, permeable pavement, and facilities with underground/enclosed chambers
- Declaration of Covenants for Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities for other facilities
- Environmental Compliance Agreement for use of the Environmental Compliance Bond (replaces the previous Erosion and Sediment Control Agreement)
- Letter of Credit Form (replaces the previous Letter of Credit form)
- Assignment for Environmental Compliance Measures (replaces the previous Assignment for Erosion and Sediment Control Measures)
- Agreement in Lieu of a Stormwater Management Plan
- Agreement in Lieu of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
The County also conducted several workshops to prepare contractors, consultants, and homebuilders for implementation of the program. The information presented during these workshops is available for Contractors, Engineers and Home Builders.
