                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

BATHING GROUNDS; ASSIGNMENT; RENTAL (§ 28.2-633)

Any person desiring to obtain a location for bathing grounds shall apply to the
Commissioner to have the location designated, surveyed, and assigned. An annual
rental fee of $7.50 per acre shall be charged for obtaining such a location. The
cost for the assignment of bathing grounds shall be three dollars. Any such
application, surveying, assigning, and marking shall conform to the law
pertaining to oyster-planting grounds. Such licenses shall be for public or
commercial bathing grounds only.
		If any lessee of bathing ground has his ground or any portion thereof
resurveyed or if he reassigns any or all of the ground, the resurvey or
reassignment shall not be considered a twenty-year renewal of his lease, or as a
new assignment of the ground, but shall be a continuation of the original
assignment, subject to all the limitations and conditions under which the ground
was originally assigned.
		The lessee of any bathing ground, the rent of which is to be paid to the
following September of any year, may abandon his holdings at any time without
being liable for the payment of the rent for the following year, provided he
notifies an officer or the Commissioner in writing of his intention to do so
before September 1. This notice, when received by the officer, shall be
immediately forwarded by him to the office of the Commissioner.
