A. No application submitted to the Board for a certificate a new individual Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination permit authorizing a new to discharge of sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes 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.
