An Act to amend and reenact § 62.1-44.15:3 of the Code of Virginia, relating to sewage discharge certificates.
[S 294]
Approved March 2, 2000

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 62.1-44.15:3 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 62.1-44.15:3. When application to discharge sewage considered complete.

A. No application for a certificate to discharge sewage into any water impoundment located in the state shall be considered complete unless it contains notification from the governing body of the county, city, or town in which the discharge is to take place that the location and operation of the discharging facility are consistent with applicable ordinances adopted pursuant to Chapter 22 (§ 15.2-2200 et seq.) of Title 15.2. The governing body shall inform in writing the applicant and the Board of the discharging facility’s compliance or noncompliance not more than forty-five days from receipt by the chief administrative officer, or his agent, of a request from the applicant. Should the governing body fail to provide such written notification within forty-five days, the requirement for such notification is waived. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any discharge for which a valid certificate had been issued prior to July 1, 2000.

B. No application for a certificate to discharge sewage into or adjacent to state waters from a privately owned wastewater treatment system serving fifty or more residences shall be considered complete unless the applicant has provided the Executive Director with notification from the State Corporation Commission that the applicant is incorporated in the Commonwealth and is in compliance with all regulations and relevant orders of the State Corporation Commission.
