HB 1505 Emergency water supply permit.

Introduced by: L. Preston Bryant, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Emergency water supply permit. Authorizes the State Water Control Board to issue an emergency Virginia Water Protection Permit (VWPP). If the Board finds that there is an insufficient drinking water supply for the area served by a public water system, an emergency permit would be issued to an applicant seeking to develop an additional source of water supply. The amount of water that could be withdrawn under the permit is limited to the amount necessary to protect public health and safety. The emergency permit would be valid (i) until the Board either denied or approved a regular VWPP or (ii) for one year, whichever occurs sooner. The fee charged by the Board for the emergency permit would be 50 percent of the amount charged for a comparable water project seeking a VWPP.
