5-Star Stormwater Management

The primary purpose of the Stormwater Management Program in Virginia is to control and manage the runoff of rainwater or melted snow from roads, buildings, and other surfaces to prevent flooding, erosion, and water pollution, which can harm the environment and the community.

The County Department of Environmental Services is primarily responsible for the implementation of a Stormwater Management Program

Constructing rain gardens, ponds, and wetlands to filter pollutants, employing erosion and sediment control measures, and ensuring proper maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure.

Non-compliance with the regulations can result in penalties including fines, cease and desist orders, and even legal action. The specific penalty would depend on the severity of the violation.
