As we approach the Ides of March when Romans traditionally recognized a new year, it’s also time to seek nominations for VTCA’s Board of Directors and Committees.

VTCA, North Carolina Aggregates Association, South Carolina Aggregates Association and the Georgia Construction Aggregates Association are conducting an MSHA Stakeholder meeting on March 29 in Raleigh, NC.

Chapters 68 and 758 of the 2016 Acts of Assembly (the “Consolidation Bill”) combine DEQ’s existing statutory programs relating to erosion and sediment control and stormwater management and directed the State Water Control Board to adopt regulations to carry out the purposes of the Acts.

In order to help streamline the enforcement process, updates have been made to the DEQ Enforcement Manual. The manual update reflects changes to staff instructions to implement agency efficiencies.
