HB 2168 Stormwater offsets; authorizes permit-issuing authorities to allow permit holders to comply.
Introduced by: Watkins M. Abbitt, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Stormwater offsets. Authorizes permit issuing authorities to allow stormwater permit holders to comply with nonpoint nutrient runoff water quality criteria by acquiring nonpoint nutrient offsets that have been certified under the Chesapeake Bay Nutrient Exchange Program. The offsets have to be in the same tributary as the permitted activity and generated in the same or adjacent eight digit hydrologic unit code. The permit issuing authority may only allow the use of nonpoint nutrient offsets when the permit applicant demonstrates that (i) alternative site designs have been considered that may accommodate on-site best management practices (BMPs), (ii) on-site BMPs have been considered in alternative site designs, (iii) appropriate on-site BMPs will be implemented, and (iv) full compliance with postdevelopment nonpoint nutrient runoff compliance requirements cannot practicably be met on site. The bill also requires an offset broker to pay the permit issuing authority a fee equal to six percent of the amount paid by the permittee for the offsets.
