Statutory Authority: § 10.1-1197.6 of the Code of Virginia.

The Department of Environmental Quality has WITHDRAWN the regulatory action for 9VAC15-50, Small Renewable Offshore Wind Energy Projects Permit Regulation, which was published as a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action in 26:24 VA.R. 2783 August 2, 2010. The purpose of the proposed action was to establish a permit by rule for small offshore wind renewable energy projects. This action is being withdrawn because of the long amount of time that has elapsed since the last stage's publication, and the department is no longer pursuing this action.
