§ 33.1-117. Taking road materials from streams, rivers and watercourses
Whenever the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner determines that it is necessary or desirable to remove materials from the streams, rivers or watercourses for use on public roads, he shall submit to the Marine Resources Commission his plan for the removal and all conditions relating thereto for its review and concurrence. After receiving the concurrence of the Marine Resources Commission, the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner may take for use on the public roads in this Commonwealth sand, gravel, rock and any other materials deemed by him suitable for road purposes from the streams, rivers and watercourses, title to the bed of which is in the Commonwealth, and in addition to the power of eminent domain already vested in him may acquire by condemnation all property, rights and easements necessary to enable him to obtain and make use of such materials. All such proceedings shall be governed by the provisions of law governing the exercise by the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner of the power of eminent domain for state highway purposes.
