Erosion and sediment control. Exempts certain activities from the Erosion and Sediment Control Law (E&S) as land-disturbing activities if certain practices are followed. Under the bill the harvesting of forest crops would not be considered a land-disturbing activity and therefore would not be regulated under the E&S law if the area on which the harvesting occurs is: (i) reforested artificially or naturally in accordance with a forest management plan developed by a professional forester or (ii) converted to agricultural or improved pasture use by following a conservation plan approved by the soil and water conservation district. Currently, such harvested areas can be exempted from the E&S law if other types of restoration procedures are implemented.

Land-disturbing activities; exempts certain activities from Erosion and Sediment Control Law.

Del. Albert Pollard [D]
