1998 SESSION
SB 582 Wetlands mitigation banks.
Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Wetlands mitigation banks. Allows for the compensation required to be made for adverse impacts to wetlands to be made by the use of wetlands mitigation bank credits including those from a wetlands mitigation bank that may be owned by the person causing the damage. Mitigation banks must comply with state and federal laws, regulations, and guidance in order to be approved for use. Currently, only compliance with federal guidance is necessary for approval. The Virginia Department of Transportation is also allowed to use, for mitigation purposes, off-site mitigation areas that conform to the same requirements.
