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.
