Code of Virginia - Title 28.2 Fisheries And Habitat Of The Tidal Waters - Section 28.2-553 Reestablishment of lines of Baylor survey; procedure; evidence of reestablished lines

§ 28.2-553. Reestablishment of lines of Baylor survey; procedure; evidence of reestablished lines

The Commission may reestablish, relocate, and remark all lines of the Baylor survey which cannot be otherwise relocated because of the loss or destruction of previous marks. In reestablishing any such lines, the line surveyed by Fred E. Ruediger shall be followed wherever such line exists or was surveyed. Where no former line can be reestablished the Commission may establish a new line.

When such grounds or lines have been reestablished and relocated, the reestablishment and relocation shall be conclusive evidence in all courts of the Commonwealth that such grounds are public oyster rocks, beds, or shoals and that all grounds lying outside of such boundaries are rental grounds. Plats shall be made under the direction of the Commission showing the reestablishment of such lines, and shall be recorded in the appropriate clerk's office.
