Solar projects; erosion and sediment control plan review. Requires any locality that does not operate a regulated MS4 and for which the Department did not administer a VSMP as of July 1, 2020, to notify the Department of Environmental Quality (the Department) if it decides to have the Department provide the locality with (i) review of a required erosion and sediment control plan and (ii) a recommendation on the plan's compliance with the requirements of the Erosion and Sediment Control Law and the State Water Control Board's regulations, for any solar project and its associated infrastructure with a rated electrical generation capacity exceeding five megawatts. The bill provides certain procedural steps for the Department and VESCP authority for a locality to take in reviewing the plan and making recommendations and decisions. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation act. Solar projects; erosion and sediment control plan review.
