DEQ has completed a significant initiative to modernize and streamline its manuals and handbooks for construction stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control. These references, some of which date back to 1992, are being updated, clarified, and consolidated into a single handbook.
DEQ has also revised the Virginia Runoff Reduction Method (VRRM) to align with the new Handbook and approves its use beginning July 1—with specifications from the Handbook—as an equivalent methodology under the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Regulation.
DEQ is pleased to announce that the Virginia Stormwater Management Handbook, Version 1.0 (Handbook) and updated VRRM Version 4.1 will be available for a 30-day public comment period beginning on Feb. 26. Click below to more in Stormwater's Program News.
