RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR COASTAL CONSTRUCTION AND EXCAVATION (PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION SEAWARD OF THE COASTAL CONSTRUCTION CONTROL LINE AND FIFTY-FOOT SETBACK)

Overview

RULE:

62B-33.002	Definitions
62B-33.004	Exemptions from Permit Requirements
62B-33.005	General Criteria for Areawide and Individual Permits

PURPOSE:

The Department is proposing updates to the Rules and Procedures for Coastal Construction and Excavation (Permits for Construction Seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line and Fifty-foot Setback) to add clarity consistent with statutory intent.  The amendments will add definitions of armoring classifications and relative sea level change to increase clarity of procedures to obtain coastal construction permits.  The amendments will update forms incorporated by reference and will add minimum design standards for armoring and further define vulnerability thresholds for public infrastructure.

SUBJECT:

The Department will consider amendments to the above-mentioned rules to update referenced forms and add specific definitions and clarifying language to account for permitting following erosive events and sea level changes over time.  The Department will also add minimum design criteria for the armoring portion of the rule and further define the high frequency storm interval vulnerability requirement for public infrastructure.
