JPA must comply with the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Designation and Management Regulations, which are enforced through locally adopted Chesapeake Bayl Preservation Area (CBPA) ordinances. Compliance with state and local CBPA requirements mandates the submission ofa Water Quality Impact Assessment (WOIA) for the review and approval oft the local government. Contact the appropriate local government office to determine ifa WQIA is required for the Because the 84 local governments within Tidewater Virginia are responsible for enforcing the CBPA Regulations, the completion of the. JPA process does not constitute compliance with the Bay Act Regulations nor does it guarantee that the local government will approve encroachments into thel RPA that may result from this project. Applicants should contact their local government as early in the design process as possible to ensure that the final design and construction oft the proposed project meets all applicable CBPA requirements. Early cooperation with local government: staff can help applicants avoid unnecessary and costly delays to construction. Applicants should provide local government staff with information regarding existing vegetation within the Resource Protection Area (RPA) as well as a description and site drawings of any proposed land disturbance, construction, or vegetation clearing. As part of their review and approval processes, local government staff will evaluate the proposed project and determine whether or not approval can be granted. Once the locality has made a decision on the project, they will advise the Local Wetlands Boards and other appropriate parties of proposed activity(ies). applicable CBPA concerns or issues. 1.
