A recommendation to the Governor and General Assembly that a river or section thereof be designated a scenic river shall be submitted with:
1. The views and recommendations of the State Water Control Board and other affected agencies; and

History
This law was first created in 1970. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 468 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1970 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 2 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. Those modifications are as follows: in 1984, chapters 739 and 750; in 1988, chapter 891.
1970, c. 468, § 10-171; 1984, cc. 739, 750; 1988, c. 891.
