Stormwater Management
This department implements and ensures regulation and permit compliance with the County’s Stormwater Management ordinance and the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits. Stormwater regulations protect water quality from harmful pollutants that can accumulate when rain and snowmelt flow over impervious surfaces (streets, parking areas, buildings, etc.). When heavy or prolonged rains saturate the ground surface, runoff is channeled into storm sewers that ultimately end up in streams, creeks, rivers and the ocean. This department also administers policies, procedures and respective fee schedules related to stormwater compliance, and reviews erosion and sediment control plans prior to issuing land disturbing permits, prepares reports for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and responds to citizen concerns about stormwater drainage issues.
Thompson and Mid-County Landfills
The Thompson and Mid-County Landfills were closed in 1993 and 1997, respectively. State and federal laws and regulations required the County to perform groundwater monitoring and mitigation, in 2013 the Department of Environmental Quality required an additional 10 years of monitoring landfills.
