About the Wetlands Board

In plain words

Fleeton, LLC applied to install 530 linear feet of riprap revetment along the shoreline of Spences Creek and Tax Map Parcel #28-1-115-A on Harbor View Drive.1 Mike Cappell, acting on behalf of Roger McKinley, agent for the owner, described the project and said a living shoreline would not work because the site is North facing and shaded.2 Robert Vanlandingham noted the project did not appear to be adequately staked, and Mike Cappell agreed to do a more complete staking of the site.2 Albert Fisher made a motion to approve the application for three years upon the site being properly staked and inspected.2 Robert Vanlandingham seconded the motion and the Board unanimously approved.2

How a wetlands permit is decided

Work in tidal wetlands and along the shoreline, such as riprap, bulkheads and sills, needs a permit. The county's Wetlands Board decides these applications after an advertised public hearing.

Applications are also filed with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, which assigns the application number used to follow a request.

The law: Va. Code § 28.2-1302 (Adoption of wetlands zoning ordinance; terms of ordinance). This describes the general process, not this decision.
