SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Impact of piers on oyster grounds. Allows the construction of non-commercial piers of less than 100 feet in length, measured from the mean low water mark, without a permit. Those wishing to construct a private pier are to provide the Commissioner of Marine Resources with information regarding the proposed pier’s size and location. The twelve-month waiting period for encrouchment on leased oyster grounds by those wishing to build a wharf, channel or bulkhead is eliminated when the VMRC Commissioner finds that commercially productive oyster grounds will not be impacted. The bill contains technical amendments.
