Explanation

(This amendment provides $500,000 general fund each year to support the establishment of a statewide Virginia Urban Retrofit Best Management Practices Cost Share program, to be administered by the soil and water conservation districts. This program has been operating as a grant-funded pilot program within the Chesapeake Bay region and to date, $1.25 million has been allocated in cost share and $129,000 in technical assistance for the Virginia Cost Share Assistance Program (VCAP) program. Virginia's Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan recognizes the need for urban/residential BMPs to address next phase water quality improvement.)
