Bill Summary
Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program authority; right of entry; performance bond. Removes the requirement for a Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program (VESMP) authority to have a performance bond with surety, cash escrow, letter of credit, any combination thereof, or such other legal arrangement in order to enter any establishment or upon any property, public or private, for the purpose of initiating or maintaining appropriate actions that are required by conditions imposed by the VESMP authority on a land-disturbing activity when an owner, after proper notice, has failed to take acceptable action within the time specified.
AI Summary
This bill amends Virginia law to remove the requirement for a Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program (VESMP) authority to have a financial guarantee, such as a performance bond with surety, cash escrow, or letter of credit, before they can enter any property to take action when an owner fails to address issues related to land-disturbing activities after being properly notified. The VESMP authority is responsible for overseeing and enforcing stormwater management regulations to prevent erosion and pollution. This change simplifies the process for VESMP authorities to step in and correct problems when property owners do not comply with imposed conditions.
