Section 9.182 - Land use planning(a) Although certain regions of the Commonwealth have particular geologic formations associated with landslide activity, the events leading to a landslide incident characteristically are site specific in nature. Effective programs to prevent landslides, control environmental pollution, and reduce property damages resulting from landslides shall be developed within an environmentally sensitive land planning program at the local level. State action may support local and regional programs and provide technical assistance related to landslide problems.(b) It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to encourage the development of local and county land planning and regulatory programs which consider the cumulative effects of land use and development activities upon landslide susceptibility.
