Car Wash Specific Activity

• NY SB 9259 (New York). Requires car washes to disclose when promotions expire as well as any costs which will be incurred upon the expiration of such promotion and how often such costs will be incurred upon someone taking part in such promotion.
• VA 9 VAC 25-194-10, 15, 40, 50, 60, 70. (Virginia). The existing general permit expires on October 15, 2022, and must be reissued to cover existing and new vehicle wash and laundry discharges. The proposed amendments update definitions, add 5,000 gallons per day as a limit for vehicle wash facilities that discharge a monthly average flow rate less than or equal to 5,000 gallons per day, change the registration deadline to 60 days to be consistent with other general permits due dates and allow for a later date as established by the board, update operations and maintenance manual requirements, and add a requirement to submit electronic registration forms and discharge monitoring reports when these are made available by the department.
