Assumption of federal wetland and dredge and fill programs. Authorizes the State Water Control Board to assume full responsibility for regulating wetlands and dredge and fill programs that are currently also under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The bill will would eliminate dual permitting requirements. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency would have to determine whether Virginia has the authority to administer the individual and general permit program under § 404 of the Clean Water Act.
