SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Erosion and sediment control; penalty.  Removes the specific authority of a locality to impose a $1,000 civil penalty on a person who engages in a land-disturbing activity without having an approved plan.  Instead, any violation of any erosion and sediment control regulation or order of the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board, any provision of a local program, or any condition of a permit will be subject to a civil penalty of $100 to $1,000.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Erosion and sediment control; penalty.  Provides localities with the option of assessing civil penalties for the commencement of land-disturbing activities without an approved plan in the amount of $100 for an initial violation and in the amount of $1,000 for any subsequent violations. Currently, the penalty is set by statute at $1,000 for any violation.
