The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is the Commonwealth of Virginia's environmental regulator. On this platform it appears as the issuing authority of the VPDES Construction General Permit (VAR10) — the statewide stormwater framework governing land disturbance at construction sites such as Truealty Estates. This is a reference profile of a state agency — not an investment offering.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality administers the Commonwealth's environmental programs, including the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES). Under the Clean Water Act and the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act, DEQ authorizes operators of construction activities to discharge stormwater to surface waters — subject to the conditions of the Construction General Permit (VAR10).
Any land-disturbing construction project of regulated size in Virginia — including residential communities like Truealty Estates — operates within this framework: a registration statement, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), erosion and sediment controls, scheduled inspections, and formal termination on final stabilization.
Truealty Estates' site work — grading, road construction, and bioretention — constitutes regulated land disturbance. The VAR10 permit defines the operator's compliance regime: SWPPP development and on-site availability, erosion & sediment control implementation, inspection schedules, corrective-action deadlines, and notice-of-termination requirements at final stabilization. The Permit page summarises the framework's key parts.
Coverage, prohibited and authorized discharges, SWPPP contents, inspection schedules, and termination rules are on the Permit page.
