The General VPDES* Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities, also known as the Construction General Permit (CGP), will expire June 30, 2024. Per the permit regulations, any operator who was authorized to discharge under the expiring general permit and who intends to continue coverage (i.e., continue land-disturbing activities after June 30, 2024) must submit a new registration statement at least 60-days before the expiration date. Registration statements are submitted via email.

A complete and accurate registration statement should be submitted to Land Development Services no later than May 1, 2024. If final stabilization has been achieved, please submit a Notice of Termination.

For all VPDES-related applications, including the new 2024 Registration Statement, Notice of Termination, and Transfer Agreement, visit our Forms and Publications Library.
