City of Newport News
2024-2029 MS4 Program Plan
The City administers a local Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program via City Ordinance
Chapter 37.1 Article IV. – Erosion and Stormwater Control Regulations (effective August 13, 2024).
Prior to that date, the City operated separate erosion and sediment control and stormwater
management programs and ordinances; these programs were merged in 2024 in conjunction with the
state’s consolidated Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act (§ 62.1-44.15:27) and
attendant regulations (9VAC25-875 et seq.).
The City has no legal authorities for erosion and stormwater management control that are more
stringent than those required under state law or regulation.
