Chapter:

THE COMPREHENSIVE SHELLFISH CONTROL CODE

Overview

RULE:

5L-1.003	Shellfish Harvesting Area Standards
5L-1.004	Production and Market Standards
5L-1.013	Facility Operation

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule amendments will reclassify shellfish harvesting areas and update the associated maps to protect the health of shellfish consumers and to provide access to renewable shellfish resources.  The effect of these amendments is to maximize the amount of shellfish harvesting waters available and to maximize the times those waters will be in the open status while continuing to protect public health. The terminal sale date will be replaced with “Sell By” date to make the rules consistent with the rest of 5L-1. The record retention for fresh product will be revised to be consistent with the 2017 model ordinance.

SUBJECT:

The following shellfish harvesting areas and management plans will be amended: North Indian River (#72), South St. John’s (#88) and North St. John’s (#92). Ten Thousand Island (#66) management plan is being updated because the management plan is switching to the NOAA rainfall. The terminal sale date will be replaced with “Sell By” date to make the rules consistent with the rest of 5L-1.
