Permit No. VA0088641 Page 39 of 42 2) A senior executive officer having responsibility for the overall operations of a principal geographic unit of the agency. 2. Reports, etc. All reports required by permits, and other information requested by the Department shall be signed by a person described in Part III.K.1, or by a duly authorized representative of that person. A person is a duly authorized representative only if: a) The authorization is made in writing by a person described in Part III.K.1; b) The authorization specifies either an individual or a position having responsibility for the overall operation of the regulated facility or activity such as the position of plant manager, operator of a well or a well field, superintendent, position of equivalent responsibility, or an individual or position having overall responsibility for environmental matters for the operator. (A duly authorized representative may thus be either a named individual or any individual occupying a named position); and c) The written authorization is submitted to the Department. 3. Changes to authorization. If an authorization under Part III.K.2 is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, a new authorization satisfying the requirements of Part III.K.2 shall be submitted to the Department prior to or together with any reports, or information to be signed by an authorized representative. 4. Certification. Any person signing a document under Parts III.K.1 or 2 shall make the following certification: "I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations." L. DUTY TO COMPLY The permittee shall comply with all conditions of this state permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and the Clean Water Act, except that noncompliance with certain provisions of this state permit may constitute a violation of the Virginia Stormwater Management Act but not the Clean Water Act. Permit noncompliance is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under § 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal, even if this state permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement. M. DUTY TO REAPPLY If the permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this state permit after the expiration date of this state permit, the permittee shall submit a completed EPA Form 1, an updated MS4 Program Plan including benchmarks and milestones for the next permit cycle, at least 180 days before the expiration date of the existing permit, unless permission for a later date has been granted by the Department. The Department shall not grant permission for applications to be submitted later than the expiration date of the existing permit. N. EFFECT OF A PERMIT
