SB 946 Public beaches; sand dredging and beach replenishment.
Introduced by: Frank W. Wagner | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Sand replenishment for public beaches. Authorizes the Marine Resources Commission and the Department of Environmental Quality to establish an expedited application review process for dredging of sand and beach replenishment on the public beaches abutting the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The bill requires the agencies to establish a working group, consisting of representative stakeholders, to assist in the development of the expedited review process. The working group is to consider a requirement that the application for the sand replenishment project permit include the submission of a dredging plan by the locality for areas within the Chesapeake Bay from which the dredged material will be taken and the location of the beach replenishment project. The bill provides several types of information that such a plan would include, such as the analysis of benthic, marine, and fishery resources; impact on any historical artifacts; and impact on other uses of the state waters and bottomlands at the dredge site. This bill is identical to HB 1531.
