SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Stormwater management; land-disturbing activities; prior technical criteria. Provides that the statewide technical criteria for stormwater management that were adopted by the State Water Control Board during 2011 and became effective July 1, 2014, shall be applicable to those land-disturbing activities that are subject to a stormwater management permit that was initially issued prior to July 1, 2014, where notice of transfer of such permit to another party is provided to the Department of Environmental Quality after December 31, 2020, but no land-disturbing activities have commenced before such provision of notice. The bill creates exceptions for projects involving certain governmental bonding or public debt financing and for land-disturbing activities that are served by existing stormwater management facilities.
