Register Today: Virginia Water Protection Permit Compliance and Enforcement Webinar

DEQ’s six-part Wetlands Permitting Training was such a hit that we are excited to announce our “holiday special” episode on Virginia Water Protection (VWP) permit compliance and enforcement. This special episode is designed for applicants, permittees, consultants, construction inspectors, and those interested in broadening their knowledge of the VWP compliance program.  

The webinar will be on December 11 at 1 p.m. and will be recorded. Register for this session here.  

This webinar will cover proactive steps to identify and prevent permit violations, review regulatory responses to incidents, and share resources for developing effective corrective action plans. We will also dive into the enforcement process for noncompliance and review the financial implications of permit noncompliance. Participants will gain an understanding of the preventative measures, levels of regulatory response, and effective corrective action plans associated with VWP permit compliance; the relationship between the VWP program and the enforcement program and how the enforcement process operates; and review a Civil Charge Worksheet to fully understand the financial implications of noncompliance. 

While not a prerequisite, we recommend attendees review Webinars 1, 2, 3, and 6 to refresh themselves on the details of topics mentioned in this webinar.  The six-part webinar series can be found on the DEQ wetlands page.
