The State Water Control Board proposed to amend and reissue 9 Va. Admin. Code. 25-190, Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) General Permit Regulation for Nonmetallic Mineral Mining. The current permit expires on June 30, 2019, and needs to be reissued so that nonmetallic mineral mines with point source discharges of wastewater and stormwater to surface waters can continue to have general permit coverage. The proposed action would also update the general permit as necessary to ensure it remains current, clear, and effective and will continue to protect water quality from discharges associated with this industry. Comments are due May 16, 2018. Seehttp://register.dls.virginia.gov/details.aspx?id=6868
