 The
2002 Revised Virgin Islands Environmental Protection
Handbook is a guidance document developed to
assist in the implementation of Environmental Protection Laws
of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was originally published by
the Virgin Islands Conservation District in 1976, and was
subsequently revised by the Virgin Islands Nonpoint Source
Pollution Control Committee in 1995 and by the University
of the Virgin Islands Cooperative Extension Service in 2002.
The current revision was funded by a grant from the Virgin
Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources §319(h)
Nonpoint Source Pollution Management Program.
The Handbook
details proper measures and practices to implement to control
erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff. In addition,
information is provided on erosion and stormwater runoff modeling,
as well as design and construction details for specific practices.
It is designed to assist contractors, developers, architects,
and home builders in implementing a Stormwater, Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan specifically designed for their construction
site in order to comply with the Virgin Islands Coastal Zone
Management and Environmental Protection Laws.
