About this dataset

<p>Work impacting state surface waters may require a VWP permit in accordance with VWP program regulations and State Water Control Law. A complete application for a VWP permit requires a State Surface Waters Determination (SSWD) that maps the location of state surface waters within a project site as approved by DEQ through the SSWD process. This layer represents the boundaries of active VWP State Surface Waters Determinations (SSWDs) issued across the state.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href='https://gisdata.deq.virginia.gov/mapper_ext/DataFactSheets/Water_Permitting/SSWDPolygons_VWP_DEQFactSheet.pdf' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Data Fact Sheet</a></p>
