ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES FOR AREAS WITH CARBONATE
GEOLOGY


§ 9.191. Areas with carbonate geology.

 (a)  Carbonate areas are found extensively throughout the Commonwealth and contain many diverse environmental values. The overall environmental concern in these areas is protecting the environmental importance of carbonate terrain.

 (b)  It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to recognize the environmental significance of areas with carbonate geology and protect the ecologic, recreational, and soil, mineral, and water resource values of carbonate areas.

 (c)  The ecological importance and existence of valuable resources in carbonate areas is of Statewide concern. Uncontrolled land use and development may increase the potential for environmental hazards and preempt the utilization of resources. The lack of comprehensive Commonwealth programs to deal with problems associated with carbonate areas reinforces the need for the following policies.
