4VAC15-35-90. Biennial standards and specifications.

Any person who will undertake multiple regulated activities requiring a permit may biennially submit a single set of standards and specifications for department approval that describes how covered regulated activities shall be conducted.

1. Such standards and specifications shall be consistent with the requirements of this chapter and the applicable sector-specific plans. Each project constructed for which a permit is required shall obtain such permit by filing a permit application referencing the approved standards and specifications and paying the fee applicable under 4VAC15-35-80 C 3 prior to the commencement of the regulated activity. The standards and specifications shall include:

a. A reference to which sector-specific plans are addressed by the standards and specifications;

b. A description of the regulated activities that the applicant intends to be addressed by the standards and specifications, and, if applicable, any other regulated activities that the applicant intends to conduct that will not utilize the standards and specifications;

c. Information satisfactory to the department demonstrating how regulated activities conducted under the standards and specifications will meet the requirements of the applicable sector-specific plans, together with a copy of any reference materials cited by the standards and specifications; and

d. Implementation by the applicant of a regulated activity tracking system of all regulated activities conducted under the standards and specification, together with a permittee self-monitoring program that will ensure compliance with the standards and specifications.

2. Such standards and specification may be utilized following department approval. Utilization of approved standards and specification shall not affect the department's authority to perform inspections of regulated activities addressed by the standards and specifications. Noncompliance with the approved standards and specifications shall have the same effect as noncompliance with the requirements of the applicable sector-specific plan for purposes of permit modification, suspension, or revocation under this section.
