About this dataset

This dataset consists of the outfall locations for all Water VPDES Individual and General Permits.  There are nine (9) General Permits; Concrete Products; Domestic Sewage Discharge; Noncontact Cooling Water, Nonmetallic Mineral Mining; Petroleum and Hydrostatic Test; Potable Water Treatment Plant, Seafood Processing; Stormwater Industrial; and Vehicle Wash and Laundry.  There is a single VPDES Individual Permit, but these are designated as either Major or Minor permits depending on the amount of flow or if they require EPA review.

This dataset is updated daily. Note that the 'date modified' metadata is not reflective of these daily row-level data updates.

These data layer shows where discharges from the permitted sites enters State Waters.  This dataset will allow the public to find discharges to particular streams or relative to where they live, work or play.  Additional information about these discharges may be found by contacting the DEQ regional office responsible for that area (https://www.deq.virginia.gov/Locations.aspx ).
