AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 17 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS REQUIRING LANDSCAPING AND REFORESTATION ACTIVITIES.

This Act replaces outdated legislation with language that more precisely reflects current policy shifts toward incorporating landscaping, reforestation, and other planting activities into the plans developed by the Department of Transportation for road construction and improvement projects in the State. Under this Act, minimum standards are provided for the volume of landscaping or reforestation that must take place, and the Department of Transportation is directed to provide more specific standards through its regulations developed in conjunction with Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Control and other public or private agencies. All such activities must be spelled out on a formal landscaping or reforestation plan. As a result of this Act, the Department of Transportation construction plans should not only reflect the physical structure of the transportation improvements they will be used to install, but should also reflect the various landscaping and reforestation activities it will perform.
