SEALING MOTOR VEHICLES USED IN TRANSPORTING (§ 28.2-812)

Permits shall not be issued to any motor vehicle transporting or relaying
shellfish from condemned areas unless the motor vehicle has an enclosed body
with doors which can be sealed by an officer. An officer may refuse to issue
such a permit if he determines the motor vehicle cannot be properly sealed.
		If shellfish from condemned areas are to be transported for depuration or
relaying by a motor vehicle, an officer shall seal the body of the motor vehicle
before departure. It is unlawful for the seal to be broken by anyone except an
officer at the location where the cargo is to be discharged for relaying or
depuration. After the seal has been broken, an officer shall supervise the
relaying of the shellfish from the motor vehicle to the approved area or the
unloading of the motor vehicle at the depuration facility.
