About the Wetlands Board

In plain words

Buffalo Rentals, LLC applied to install 146 linear feet of armor stone revetment, a rock barrier along the shore, at 1212 Candy Point Road on Hull Creek.1 The application, No. 26-0716, also asks to build two 40-foot low-profile groins, which are short structures running out from the shore.1 At the Wetlands Board meeting on May 12, 2026, Craig Palubinski, agent for the owner, described the project, and Albert Fisher said a living shoreline would not be considered because of the Potomac River exposure.2 With no objections, Albert Fisher moved to approve the application as submitted for three years, Robert Vanlandingham seconded, 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.
