DEQ issues public notices to provide opportunities to offer feedback before permits are issued or new rules and regulations are adopted. 

These notices provide information about public hearings, public meetings, public comment periods and other events related to DEQ activities. Public notices can be found on the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall, in the Virginia Register of Regulations, in local newspapers and on this section of the website. See left navigation for active notices, organized by topic.

After comments are received, DEQ staff review the information and address concerns that are raised. Often public comments lead to stronger permits and better regulations.

Description of the action: The Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) facility applied for a reissued permit on October 29, 2025, to continue to conduct cleanup (formerly called corrective action) activities at a series of cleanup units at the facility in Radford, Virginia. The draft permit incorporates the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed remedies as detailed in two Statement of Basis documents from 2011 and 2014. Final remedies were selected for nine solid waste management units (SWMUs), four Site Screening Areas (SSAs), and the Army Reserve Small Arms Range (ARSAR). Selected remedies consisted of Institutional Controls, Engineering Controls, and Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) and/or Long-term groundwater monitoring. The Former Mortar and Gun Range is also included in the draft permit, and the Corrective Measures Study for this site is under development. Additionally, SWMU 17A, the Stage and Burn Area, was added to the draft permit and will be included in this permit until RFAAP determines that the site is no longer needed as an active unit, at which time the site will be investigated and evaluated for either closure or corrective action/cleanup.
