Can a vessel receive a waiver from permit limitations or requirements of the VGP, for instance, if the vessel is an older vessel?
No, waivers are not available for permit limitations or requirements of the VGP. Discussion General permits such as the VGP are a set of limitations and requirements issued to control a category or categories of discharges. As such, permittee-specific waivers are not generally available from general permit limitations or requirements.
