Supplemental environmental projects. Authorizes the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board, the Director of the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and courts to provide for the undertaking of supplemental environmental projects through orders. A "supplemental environmental project" is an environmentally beneficial project undertaken as partial settlement of a civil enforcement action that is not otherwise required by law. The project must have a reasonable geographic nexus to the violation or, if no such project is available, advance objectives of the law or regulation violated. Categories of qualifying projects are listed in the bill, as are factors to be considered in determining the appropriateness and value of a project. The project must be agreed to by the person who is subject to the order and is enforceable as is any other provision of the order. A board, agency, or court decision to agree to a project is not subject to appeal. A similar authority was granted to the Department of Environmental Quality in 1997.

Supplemental environmental projects; Department of Conservation and Recreation to establish.

Del. Lee Ware [R]
