Establishes the West Virginia Rural Property and Clean Land Act to regulate waste accumulation on private property.
The West Virginia Rural Property and Clean Land Act aims to establish objective, non-aesthetic, health- and safety-based standards for the excessive accumulation of waste materials on private property. It defines terms such as "junk vehicle," "excessive accumulation," and "construction or demolition debris." The Act provides for notice and opportunity to cure violations, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance, and enforcement by county commissions or designated officials. It exempts normal agricultural operations, lawful storage of farm equipment, and permitted industrial activities.
