§ 62.1-44.15:3. When application to discharge sewage considered complete.
A. No application for a certificate to discharge sewage, industrial
wastes and other wastes into or adjacent to state waters shall be considered
complete unless the applicant has provided the Executive Director with
notification from the governing body of the county, city or town in which the
discharge is to take place, or such other sufficient proof as the Board may
require, that the location and operation of the discharging facility is
consistent with all applicable ordinances adopted pursuant to Chapter 11 (§
15.1-427 et seq.) of Title 15.1. If the governing body of any county, city or
town fails to respond within forty-five days following receipt of a written
request which identifies the location of the property and the proposed land
use, by certified mail, return receipt requested, by an applicant for
certification that the location and operation of the proposed discharging
facility is consistent with all ordinances adopted pursuant to Chapter 11,
the application shall be deemed complete for purposes of this section. The
provisions of this section shall not apply to any applicant exempt from
compliance under Chapter 11 of Title 15.1, to any facility approved pursuant
to subsection B of § 56-46.1, or to any discharge for which a valid
certificate had been issued prior to July 1, 1987. The provisions of this
subsection shall not apply to any discharge in any county operating under the
urban county executive form of government.
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.
