Introduced by: M. Keith Hodges | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas; filling low-lying areas. Directs the State Water Control Board to adopt regulations allowing the owner of residential property in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area to deposit appropriate fill material in certain low-lying areas within 50 landward feet of a resource protection area (RPA) located on the property. The bill establishes certain provisions that the regulations shall contain and provides that no filling that is carried out in compliance with such regulations shall (i) be considered a land-disturbing activity for purposes of stormwater management and erosion and sediment control, (ii) require a Virginia Water Protection Permit, or (iii) require a permit from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. The bill also authorizes certain localities to adopt ordinances establishing a local permit process for projects that disturb less than one acre, and it requires projects that disturb one acre or more of land to follow general permit requirements established in statute.
