Overview
The Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) permit required the City of Richmond to limit the amount of pollution from stormwater runoff to the maximum extent practicable. This is accomplished by developing a stormwater management program that includes Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Measurable Goals for each of the six minimum control measures specified in the permit. The minimum control measures are:
- Public education and outreach
- Public involvement and participation
- Illicit discharge detection and elimination
- Construction site runoff control
- Post-construction stormwater management
