Rivanna Regional Stormwater Education Partnership

The Rivanna Regional Stormwater Education Partnership is a collaborative effort among the local entities that hold stormwater permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. These permits relate to the operation of municipal storm sewer systems and require the permit holders to achieve numerous goals related to education, outreach and public participation in stormwater management. Regulatory authority for the program falls under the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board under the oversight of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. The permit holders that comprise the Partnership are Albemarle County, Albemarle County Public Schools, the City of Charlottesville, Piedmont Virginia Community College, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, the University of Virginia, and the Virginia Department of Transportation.
