DAMAGE INSPECTIONS AND REPORTS (§ 10.1-654)

A. Upon receipt of an application for assistance, the Board shall schedule a
field inspection of the affected stream segment to determine the extent of
damages. Such field inspections should be scheduled and coordinated so that
affected landowners and appropriate conservation districts and local government
officials can participate.

B. Following the field inspection, the Board shall prepare an inspection report
which includes a recommendation concerning the extent to which the Commonwealth
should assist the applicant in restoring the stream.

C. Draft copies of the inspection report shall be submitted to the applicant,
persons who attended the field inspection, and chairmen of conservation
districts and local governing bodies having jurisdiction in the area where the
damage has occurred. These persons shall be given forty-five days to submit
written comments and recommendations concerning the report. The final report
shall contain copies of all written comments and recommendations received.
