Description
Daylighted streams. Directs the State Water Control Board (SWCB), when developing criteria for what constitutes a Resource Protection Area (RPA) under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, not to require that a daylighted stream become an RPA. However, the bill does not limit a locality's authority to include such a stream within an RPA. A daylighted stream is a stream that has been previously diverted into a culvert, pipe, or other underground drainage system and is redirected into an aboveground channel using natural channel design concepts. The bill also requires the SWCB to adopt minimum criteria that are to be included in any agreement between a locality and property owners adjacent to the daylighted stream to ensure that the stream continues to provide a water quality benefit.
