Enforcement of VESM State Laws by Locality Ordinances
 

The City of Virginia Beach has failed to enforce VESM locality ordinances subject to state laws concerning land disturbances over 2500 ft and has given itself unlawful exceptions related to a 13 acre wetlands project that is using a natural park on the Lynnhven for a mitigation bank. THe activities there have violated state laws under VESM.
