2024 Construction General Permit Reissuance
The General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities will expire on June 30, 2024. Construction activities disturbing one acre or more of land within Arlington County must have Construction General Permit coverage. Operators of construction activities with permit coverage under the existing Construction General Permit that will continue land-disturbing activities after June 30, 2024, or for which final stabilization has not been achieved, must reapply for permit coverage.
Per the permit regulation, any operator who was authorized to discharge under the expiring general permit and who intends to continue coverage shall submit a new registration statement at least 60 days prior to the expiration date of June 30, 2024.
A complete and accurate registration statement should be submitted to Arlington County no later than May 1, 2024. The 2024 Registration Statement form and instructions are available on Arlington County’s website.
The following items are required to re-apply for permit coverage:
- A complete, accurate, and signed registration statement submitted to the Arlington County Department of Environmental Services – Development Services Bureau no later than May 1, 2024. Digital signatures are not acceptable – registration statements submitted via email must be signed in ink and scanned.
- There is no fee for reissuance of permit coverage; however, DEQ will not reissue permit coverage to any operator with outstanding annual permit maintenance fees until the maintenance fee balance is paid in full.
Registration Statements may be submitted electronically using the following e-mail address: vsmppermits@arlingtonva.us. Please be sure the registration statement is signed by the appropriate person as explained in the instructions.
Hard copies of the registration statement may be submitted through U.S. Postal mail to:
