                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

AMNESTY FOR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE AND RESTORATION OF BROWNFIELD SITES (§
10.1-1233)

The Director may, consistent with programs developed under the federal acts,
provide incentives for the voluntary disclosure of brownfield sites and related
information regarding potential or known contamination at that site. To the
extent consistent with federal law, any person making a voluntary disclosure
regarding real or potential contamination at a brownfield site shall not be
assessed an administrative or civil penalty under the Virginia Waste Management
Act (§ 10.1-1400 et seq.), the State Water Control Law (§ 62.1-44.2 et seq.),
the State Air Pollution Control Law (§ 10.1-1300 et seq.), or any other
applicable law. A disclosure is voluntary if it is not otherwise required by
law, regulation, permit or administrative order and the person making the
disclosure adopts a plan to market for redevelopment or otherwise ensure the
timely remediation of the site. Immunity shall not be accorded if it is found
that the person making the voluntary disclosure has acted in bad faith.
