Wetland Regulation

Concerned about how wetlands regulations are changing - and how your practices may be impacted?

The last few years have seen much change in wetland regulation across the Chesapeake Bay area. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has stepped up its efforts to decrease the threat to wetlands with the Comprehensive Wetland Program Plan and the Water Protection Permit Program. Negotiating the multi-layered state and federal wetland regulatory programs in Virginia presents challenges for development interests, local government, agriculture and for the agencies charged with implementation and administration of the programs.
