VAMP stands for which program?

• A. Virginia Stormwater Management Program
• B. Virginia Water Management Program
• C. Virginia Agricultural Stormwater Plan
• D. Virginia Environmental Water Plan

Answer: (A)

VAMP refers to the Virginia Stormwater Management Program, the statewide framework that regulates how stormwater runoff is managed to protect water quality. This program sets the rules for planning, design, and implementation of controls to minimize sediment and pollutant pollution from development, and it governs the permit process and required best management practices. Local governments implement the program under oversight from the state Department of Environmental Quality, and developers must follow its requirements and obtain the necessary permits. The other options don’t reflect the actual Virginia framework used to manage stormwater in this context.
