Local governments are required to use the criteria promulgated by the board to ensure that the use and development of land in Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas is accomplished in a manner that protects the quality of state waters. Code of Virginia, Title 62.1, Chapter 3.1, Article 2.5.

The board is authorized to adopt regulations governing the certification of specified nutrient credit types. Code of Virginia, Title 62.1, Chapter 3.1, Article 4.02.

The board is authorized to promulgate regulations with regard to aboveground and underground storage tanks in accordance with applicable federal laws and regulations, including federal financial responsibility requirements. The board is charged with the responsibility of promulgating regulations relating to oil discharge contingency plans and financial responsibility of facilities and tank vessels transporting or transferring oil in Virginia waters.
