Stormwater Local Government Advisory Committee

The Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board and DCR have assembled an advisory committee to assist them with the statewide development and rollout of local stormwater management programs. The Stormwater Local Government Advisory Committee’s (SWLGAC) charge is to “provide DCR with local government feedback in the development of tools we will be providing for localities as they begin to implement their own post construction stormwater programs based on the 2011 revised regulations.”

Members must provide comments to DCR’s Scott Crafton, scott.crafton@dcr.virignia.gov, no later than COB on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012. Also note that there is much material in this handbook.
