Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

The Erosion and Sediment Control Law for Localities Not Administering a Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program (§§ 62.1-44.15:51 through 62.1-44.15:66 of the Code of Virginia) and the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act (§§ 62.1-44.15:24 through 62.1-44.15:50 of the Code of Virginia) provide exemptions for certain land-disturbing activities specifically associated with agricultural activities. The purpose of this guidance document is to provide clarification on the application of these exemptions for owners and operators engaging in productive, bona fide agricultural activities.
