• Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP)– Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Permit (MS4)– Discharge from approximately 7,000 storm drain outfalls– Includes watershed planning and project implementation
• Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)– Chesapeake Bay– Local Streams– Establishes pollutant loading budget for a given impaired water
body to meet water quality standards
