About VAMSA

VAMSA's primary goals are to provide a venue for local governments to share knowledge on stormwater management; to establish and maintain good working relationships with federal, state and local officials; to encourage the establishment of sound policy relating to stormwater management; and to assist in the development of laws, regulations and policies based on good science and technology and sound management practices.

• Stormwater Legislation and Agency Rulemakings
• MS4 VSMP (NDPES) Permits (Phase I and Phase II)
• Stormwater Management Regulations (Post-Development Runoff)
• Regional Programs, Offsets and Trading
• Stormwater Utilities
• Water Quality Standards & TMDLs for Urban Streams
• Chesapeake Bay TMDL & Watershed Implementation Planning
• Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Local Implementation
