(b) It is the purpose of the General Assembly in enacting this subtitle:
(1) To establish a Resource Protection Program for the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries by fostering more sensitive development activity for certain
shoreline areas so as to minimize damage to water quality and natural habitats; and
(2) To implement the Resource Protection Program on a cooperative
basis between the State and affected local governments, with local governments
establishing and implementing their programs in a consistent and uniform manner
subject to State criteria and oversight.
8-1808.
(a) (1) It is the intent of this subtitle that each local jurisdiction shall have
primary responsibility for developing and implementing a program, subject to review
and approval by the Commission.
(2) The Governor shall include in the budget a sum of money to be used
for grants to reimburse local jurisdictions for the reasonable costs of developing a
program under this section. Each local jurisdiction shall submit to the Governor [by
October 31, 1984] a detailed request for funds that are equivalent to the additional
costs incurred in developing the program under this section.
(3) The Governor shall include in the budget annually a sum of money to
be used for grants to assist local jurisdictions with the reasonable costs of
implementing a program under this section. Each local jurisdiction shall submit to
the Governor by May 1 of each year a detailed request for funds to assist in the
implementation of a program under this section.
(b) A program shall consist of those elements which are necessary or
appropriate:
(1) To minimize adverse impacts on water quality that result from
pollutants that are discharged from structures or conveyances or that have run off
from surrounding lands;
(2) To conserve fish, wildlife, and plant habitat; and
(3) To establish land use policies for development in the Chesapeake Bay
Critical Area which accommodate growth and also address the fact that, even if
pollution is controlled, the number, movement, and activities of persons in that area
can create adverse environmental impacts.
(c) At a minimum, a program sufficient to meet the goals stated in subsection
(b) of this section includes:
(1) A map designating the critical area in a local jurisdiction;
(2) A comprehensive zoning map for the critical area;
