Appendix c baseline understanding final_dec2010Severn Estuary
This document contains three parts that provide baseline information for the Severn Estuary Shoreline Management Plan Review (SMP2):
Part A assesses coastal processes and evolution in the estuary based on geology, geomorphology, hydrodynamics, and sediment transport.
Part B details existing coastal defences along the shoreline based on surveys and updates from local authorities. It considers residual life of defences over 20, 50, and 100 years.
Part C develops baseline scenarios of shoreline change under conditions of No Active Intervention (NAI) and With Present Management (WPM), taking into account climate change and potential defence failure over different time periods. It aims to improve understanding of coastal risks to inform SMP
This document provides a Water Framework Directive (WFD) assessment of the Severn Estuary Shoreline Management Plan 2 (SMP2). It identifies the transitional, coastal, river, lake and groundwater bodies in the SMP2 area and assesses how the SMP2's preferred policies may impact the environmental objectives of the WFD. The assessment found that several management areas' policies have the potential to not fully meet some of the WFD objectives. It provides recommendations to better align some SMP boundaries with WFD waterbody boundaries. Overall, the assessment determines whether the SMP2's policies will help or hinder achieving the WFD's goals in different water bodies in the plan's coastal region.
Appendix b stakeholder engagement and consultation final_dec2010Severn Estuary
This document outlines the stakeholder engagement and consultation process for the Shoreline Management Plan Review (SMP2) of the Severn Estuary in the UK. It describes the various stakeholder groups involved, including a Client Steering Group, Elected Members Forum, and Key Stakeholders Group. It details the stages of stakeholder engagement during the SMP2 development and policy setting process, including identifying issues, developing policies, and public consultation. It also provides summaries of key stakeholder consultation events held from January to June 2009 to inform the SMP2 process.
Appendix a development of the smp2 final_dec2010Severn Estuary
This document provides background information on the development of the second generation Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2) for the Severn Estuary. It discusses the purpose and process of SMPs, including considering longer timescales and factors like climate change. It also describes the relationship between the SMP2 and the parallel Flood Risk Management Strategy (SEFRMS) study. The SEFRMS will develop the policies in the SMP2 into more detailed coastal defence options. Finally, it briefly outlines the progress that has been made nationally on shoreline management planning since the first generation of SMPs.
This document summarizes an economic appraisal of the preferred plan for the Severn Estuary Shoreline Management Plan Review (SMP2). It finds that:
1) Allowing natural coastal evolution with no active intervention would result in significant economic damages from flooding and loss of assets over time.
2) Implementing the preferred plan of maintaining or improving coastal defences would cost an estimated $15 million but would prevent substantial economic damages estimated at $30 million.
3) A high-level benefit-cost assessment finds the preferred plan is economically viable, with benefits expected to outweigh the costs. However, more detailed analysis will be required to justify specific future schemes.
Appendix k metadata and bibliographic database final_dec2010Severn Estuary
This document provides a bibliographic database of references used in developing the Severn Estuary Shoreline Management Plan Review (SMP2). It is divided into two parts: Part A lists key documents and reports produced for the SMP2, including the main SMP2 document and its appendices on development, stakeholder engagement, baseline understanding, theme review, policy development, and environmental assessments. Part B lists mapped data and digital information used in the SMP2, including policy maps, flood/erosion maps, and theme maps. The references provide transparency on the information and evidence base supporting the SMP2.
What is a Shoreline Management Plan?
Developed in partnership by local authorities, regulators and other stakeholders, a Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) is a high level non-statutory policy document designed to assist coastal flood and erosion risk management planning. It provides a large-scale assessment of the risks (to people, property, the natural and historic environment) associated with coastal erosion and flooding at the coast over the long-term. It also proposes policies to help manage these risks sustainably over the next hundred years.
The SMP enables planners and regulators to plan for and manage the way that the coast will change. This could be by maintaining or improving defences, by enabling the natural processes to play a greater role, creating new natural habitat or by helping areas that are at risk of flooding at some point in the future to cope with and limit the impact of flooding events.
The SMP2 for the Severn Estuary updates an earlier SMP1 (2000) for the estuary. It aims to provide more certainty for landowners, residents and businesses; to know how the coast will be managed by regulators during the next 100 years, so that they can plan ahead and make decisions about investments, homes, development and the management of their resources.
Appendix e issues and features final_dec2010Severn Estuary
This document provides an appendix to the Severn Estuary Shoreline Management Plan Review. It outlines the methodology used to identify issues, features, and objectives along the Severn Estuary coastline. Key features were identified through a theme review process and stakeholder input. The importance of each feature is evaluated based on the scale of its benefits, importance to users, sufficiency of the feature, and whether the benefits can be substituted. Features at risk of flooding under a no active intervention scenario within the next 100 years are also identified using GIS data. The appendix is divided into two parts: part A covers the identification and assessment of issues and features, while part B establishes objectives for shoreline management.

Smp2 part b policy statements intro sections_finalSevern Estuary
This document summarizes changes in shoreline management policies between the SMP1 and the proposed SMP2 around the Severn Estuary. Key points:
- Policy changes are proposed upstream of the River Usk, around Congresbury Yeo, the Avon, Alvington, Sharpness, the upper Severn, and the Noose and Elmore areas.
- Changes reflect a better understanding of long-term tidal flood risks in these areas and opportunities to create new intertidal habitat.
- The potential outcomes of these policy changes over 50-100 years include allowing tidal flood risks to certain areas to be managed more naturally in the long run.
The document summarizes revisions to physical flood maps as a result of updated coastal flood hazard analyses. It recaps the coastal flood analysis methodology which included analyzing stillwater levels, wave setup, overland wave propagation, wave runup, and primary frontal dunes. It outlines the public review and appeal period timeline and process. It also discusses how existing Letters of Map Change will be affected and issues related to flood insurance including subsidies and reforms.

The Dept. of Energy responded to the nutty Sierra Club's request to re-hear a decision made by the department to grant the Dominion Cove Point (Maryland) LNG export facility the right to export LNG to non-Free Trade Agreement countries--specifically India and Japan. The Sierra Club request was a feeble attempt to throw whatever they can against the wall and see if some of it will stick. The strategy (once again) failed.
This document provides an overview of joint planning between Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) and Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs), including:
- GCDs are required to jointly plan within GMAs to develop Desired Future Conditions (DFCs) for relevant aquifers.
- DFCs are quantitative descriptions of the desired condition of groundwater resources at future times.
- The joint planning process involves GCDs considering models/data to propose DFCs, which are adopted by GMAs and submitted to the Texas Water Development Board.
- The TWDB then provides Modeled Available Groundwater amounts based on the adopted DFCs to GCDs and regional planning groups
The document summarizes significant groundwater bills from the 85th Texas Legislative session. It discusses bills relating to desired future conditions appeals, aquifer storage and recovery permitting, brackish groundwater production zones, permit renewals with groundwater conservation districts, groundwater conservation district board member liability, water well driller apprentice programs, disclosure of groundwater conservation districts during property sales, groundwater conservation district permitting decisions, Texas Water Development Board aquifer mapping, and governmental transparency legislation.
This document is a bill to reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs.

Overview Of Public Informational Hearingguestaa9396
The document provides an overview of an informational public hearing held by the Chippewa County Land Conservation Department on February 28, 2009 regarding a reclamation plan and permitting process for a nonmetallic mine site. It discusses the purpose of the hearing, the county and department's roles, guidelines, the status of the permit application and reclamation plan, what the plan contains, the purpose of public review, and next steps in the process.
The legislative regime affecting the development and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility and marine terminal project in British Columbia (B.C.), includes government approvals, licences, permits and other regulatory requirements typically associated with such a project. While each project must be analyzed for its own specific permitting requirements, this overview provides an outline of the major environmental protection and non-environmental project permits, licences, etc., that are typically needed to undertake LNG terminal construction and operation activities.
The Executive Summary of the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. It is a review of the potential impacts from building a 125-mile natural gas pipeline from Susquehanna County, PA north into central New York where it will connect with two interstate natural gas transmission pipelines, delivering up to 650,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day to New York and New England--something badly needed. The EIS says there will be negative effects on the environment--but that those effects can be mitigated to "less than significant levels" if certain things are done.
This document summarizes the key aspects of the Bureau of Land Management's final rule regarding hydraulic fracturing on federal and Indian lands:
1) It improves public disclosure of fracturing operations and chemicals used while protecting trade secrets. Operators must disclose details to BLM and the public, using FracFocus.
2) It strengthens well construction standards to ensure integrity and protect water resources, requiring cement evaluation and remediation if needed.
3) It provides for interim storage of recovered fluids in closed tanks to contain them, with limited exceptions.
4) It aims to increase oversight and transparency without undue delays or costs for operators.
This document summarizes a presentation on emerging trends in groundwater case law. It discusses how the landmark case Edwards Aquifer Authority v. Day established that landowners own the groundwater beneath their property, but that groundwater conservation districts can still regulate pumping. It notes emerging issues around what regulations constitute a "taking" requiring compensation, and the extent of a GCD's authority. The document also discusses cases related to takings claims, a GCD acting within its authority, the application of oil and gas law to severed groundwater estates, and regulation affording landowners a "fair share" of groundwater. It concludes more cases on takings will likely emerge and the extent to which oil and gas principles will apply to ground

Smp2 part b policy statements sharpness-sev cross only_finalSevern Estuary
The document summarizes the preferred policies for six policy units along the Severn Estuary shoreline from Sharpness to Severn Crossings. The preferred policy for all units over all time periods (0-20, 20-50, 50-100 years) is Hold the Line (HTL) to manage flood risk and protect critical infrastructure like nuclear power stations. HTL involves maintaining and replacing existing flood defenses but does not guarantee funding to address future risks from sea level rise. Coastal squeeze is expected to increase due to HTL, reducing intertidal habitats over time.
Smp2 part b policy statements wentlooge only_finalSevern Estuary
This document provides local details for two policy units, WEN1 and WEN2, located along the Severn Estuary in the context of the wider SMP policy. For both units, the preferred policy is to hold the line over the short (0-20 years), medium (20-50 years) and long (50-100 years) term. This involves maintaining and replacing existing flood defences to protect agricultural land, infrastructure, and communities from flooding and erosion due to sea level rise, while seeking opportunities to mitigate environmental impacts through managed realignment.
Smp2 part b policy statements tidenham only_finalSevern Estuary
This document summarizes the preferred policies for two policy units - TID 1 and TID 2 - along the Severn Estuary coastline in Gloucestershire. For TID 1, the preferred policy is No Active Intervention for all three epochs (0-20 years, 20-50 years, and 50-100 years) as the mudstone cliffs are expected to undergo only limited erosion. For TID 2, the preferred policies are Hold the Line for the first two epochs, and Managed Realignment for the third epoch, as new defences may need to be constructed further inland to manage increasing flood risks in the long term.

The document summarizes regulation of unconventional gas exploitation in various countries. It discusses regulation in the US, where shale gas and coal bed methane account for a large portion of natural gas production. Regulations generally follow conventional oil and gas frameworks, with some additional regulation for issues like tensions between coal mining and gas production. Canada also regulates shale gas and coal bed methane, with responsibilities divided between provincial bodies. Lessons for Colombia include the US approach to allocating rights between coal and coal bed methane owners.

This document summarizes the history of shellfish aquaculture in Rhode Island from the 17th century to present day. It discusses how the shellfish industry developed over time, reaching its peak in the early 1900s with over 21,000 acres of oyster farms before declining in the mid-1900s due to increased sewage and lack of environmental protections. It also outlines how decades of investment in clean water infrastructure and regulations have supported the renewal of shellfish aquaculture in Rhode Island with over 50 farms and 172 acres leased currently.
The document provides an overview of the complex regulation of marine renewable energy development in the United States.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has proposed comprehensive amendments to the Flood Hazard Area Control Act Rules. The public comment period on the proposed amendments runs until July 31, 2015. Coastal Environmental Consulting can help navigate the proposed amendments and explain how they may impact projects. Key changes in the proposals include additional flexibility for projects in riparian zones, eliminating acid-producing soils from riparian zone calculations, and changes to permit review times and public notice requirements.
This document summarizes a presentation on integrating wetland permitting with Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) and Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs). It provides an overview of HCPs/NCCPs and how they work with the Clean Water Act and state regulations to streamline permitting for development projects. Examples are given of HCPs/NCCPs in Northern California that have successfully integrated wetland permitting through regional general permits and in-lieu fee programs. Challenges and next steps discussed include expanding this integration to include water quality certifications and state lake and stream permitting. The overall goal is a single permitting process and mitigation program for both species and wetlands.
A survey conducted in fall 2013 of members of the Marcellus Shale Safe Drilling Advisory Commission members on their reaction to the draft "best practices" document produced by the commission. The survey was meant to pinpoint areas of disagreement for future discussion at Commission meetings. The responses show members to be careful, considerate, and deliberative about shale drilling. It also shows they are in favor of it and believe it can move forward with certain safeguards in place.
Best Practices for NEPA Compliance and Related Permitting for EOR ProjectsTrihydro Corporation
The document provides an overview of NEPA compliance requirements and best practices for EOR projects. It discusses that NEPA is required for EOR projects involving federal lands or minerals. An EA or EIS may be required depending on the project scope and impacts. It recommends identifying if a federal nexus exists early, conducting environmental constraints analyses, redesigning the project to avoid impacts, requesting an EA, and collaborating with agencies to establish reasonable timelines. The goal is to streamline NEPA compliance through early project planning and agency coordination.
This document discusses integrating spatial data into marine protected area monitoring and management in California's North Central Coast region. It describes two key programs, the California Seafloor and Coastal Mapping Program and the North Central Coast MPA Baseline Program, that provide spatial datasets to inform MPAs. The mapping program collected high-resolution seafloor and habitat data, while the baseline program gathered biological, socioeconomic, and imagery data. Integrating these datasets provides a more holistic understanding of the region to inform long-term MPA monitoring and adaptive management. Applications include using the data for landscape ecology models, ecosystem connectivity analyses, and derivative seafloor maps.
This document discusses the challenges of using modeled available groundwater (MAG) in both the regulatory and planning contexts for groundwater management in Texas. It notes that MAGs are treated as guidelines and not caps for regulatory purposes by groundwater conservation districts, but as hard caps for regional water planning purposes. This distinction creates challenges. Additionally, achieving desired future conditions (DFCs) faces challenges from uncertainties around takings law, balancing water rights with management goals, and the potential concept of implementing "fair share" pumping allocations. The document concludes that reconciling the different uses of MAGs in regulatory versus planning contexts would help address these challenges.
Wellington&Cira Law Seminars Presentation 072610fredwellington
The document summarizes a presentation by Navigant Consulting on the financial impacts of renewable energy policies in the Pacific Northwest. It finds that remaining wind resources in Oregon and Washington will likely not be sufficient to meet states' 2020 renewable portfolio standard targets. This could increase renewable energy compliance costs for utilities if they do not procure higher quality wind resources early on or rely more on other renewable resources like geothermal. The analysis compares costs under different scenarios of accelerated, incremental, and import-reliant renewable resource development. Prudent renewable energy procurement is important to manage risks to utility shareholders and ratepayers from increased costs of non-cost effective compliance strategies.
Managing a Wild and Scenic River - The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and Compreh...rshimoda2014

ARTBA Comments on CEQ Draft Guidance Including Climate Change and Greenhouse ...artba
The American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) opposes the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) draft guidance expanding the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to include greenhouse gas emissions and climate change impacts. ARTBA believes this expansion would increase project delays, as NEPA reviews already take 9-19 years on average. Additionally, NEPA was passed in 1969 before climate change was a regulatory issue, so it lacks mechanisms for assessing greenhouse gases and climate impacts properly. ARTBA urges CEQ to withdraw the proposed guidance to avoid further expanding NEPA's scope and increasing review delays.

Regulation of Marine Renewables in the US: A 15 Minute Encapsulationguest0c28de
This document summarizes the complex regulation of marine renewable energy development in the United States. Key points include:
- Regulation is complicated due to both state and national interests being involved.
- The main regulatory bodies are NOAA, MMS, and FERC, and their jurisdictions vary depending on the type of marine renewable technology (e.g. offshore wind, wave, tidal) and distance from shore.
- MMS and FERC have different approaches and rules regarding leasing/permitting areas on the Outer Continental Shelf or involving both state and federal waters.
- The document outlines some options for streamlining regulation to help marine renewable technologies progress, such as one-stop shopping, stream
This is a slidecast of our August lunch training session titled "The State of Sustainability in Southern California" which took place on August 25, 2011.

This thesis explores predicting Marine Corps reenlistment rates while accounting for changing deployment tempo. The current SRB prediction model is outlined, along with literature on how increased deployments negatively impact retention. Data from the Total Force Data Warehouse, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Marine Corps is analyzed using descriptive statistics. A logit model is estimated with alternative deployment tempo indicators to improve prediction accuracy of reenlistment decisions under high operations tempo conditions. Validation shows the new model predicts FY07 rates for high-density MOSs within 12% on average.

2015 International Spatial Planning Symposium: Sharing Practical Solutions riseagrant
The document summarizes findings from a review of marine spatial plans around the world. It finds that most plans are implemented at smaller spatial scales than entire ecosystems. It also finds that few institutional changes are made to governing bodies to implement coastal and marine spatial planning, relying instead on existing agencies. Additionally, it notes that while formal decision support tools are used, informal expert judgment also plays a role. The main messages are that there is no single approach for marine spatial planning and that the value is in the planning process of engaging stakeholders as much as the final plan.
Five regional planning bodies have been established across the United States to coordinate ocean planning: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and West Coast. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions have established charters and are drafting regional marine plans to be completed in 2016. The Pacific Islands has a charter and is beginning to draft a plan, while the Caribbean is still finalizing its charter and the West Coast is working on one.
This document assessed the impact of past ocean management plans in several countries and U.S. states. It found that the plans supported $4.1 billion in ocean economies by siting wind farms and retaining existing industries. The plans also generated hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic gains for new industries like wind power and retained billions within existing industries like fishing and tourism. While fishermen lost some access, they were compensated. The plans encouraged collaboration among stakeholders and expanded environmental protections over 50% of the planned areas while managing industrial growth. Future research on newer plans is needed to fully understand the long-term economic, environmental and social impacts of comprehensive ocean management.
The Block Island Wind Farm project will consist of 5 turbines generating 30 MW of energy, enough for 17,000 homes. Construction is underway and commercial operations are scheduled for 2016. The project has completed permitting, engineering, and financing. It will create over 300 construction jobs and establish a new cable to the mainland, positioning the US for national leadership in offshore wind.
This document provides a tutorial for using STORMTOOLS, a web-based mapping tool for understanding coastal flood risk in Rhode Island. It outlines how to access and use the various features and layers in STORMTOOLS to determine flood depths and impacts under different hurricane and sea level rise scenarios. Key features include zooming and panning the map, adjusting layer transparency, toggling layers on and off, and clicking on locations to view flood depths and identify emergency services. The tutorial is created by a team from the University of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council.
Shoreline Change Special Area Management Plan (Beach SAMP) Stakeholder Meeting. Held on July 14, 2015. The purpose of the meeting was to review progress to date on development of tools, and discuss the next phase of the Beach SAMP porject.
Legal and Policy Strategies for SLAMM in Rhode Islandriseagrant
This document discusses potential legal and policy strategies for addressing sea level rise and marsh migration in Rhode Island. It examines transferred development rights and rolling easements as adaptive tools, noting that the strategies were researched by Sea Grant Law Fellows to help inform the SLAMM and Beach SAMP teams. The Beach SAMP process will further explore using these strategies as well as property rights and liability issues related to climate change impacts.
This document summarizes coastal wetland adaptation strategies presented at two municipal workshops in October 2014. The strategies included upland actions like facilitating marsh migration and removing barriers, as well as in-marsh actions like drainage improvements, elevation enhancement, and erosion control. Specific project examples were provided from locations around Rhode Island where marsh migration was being facilitated or impeded, and adaptation techniques like creek excavation and land protection were undertaken. Partnerships between municipalities, land trusts, and state agencies were noted as important for implementing projects costing $5,000 to $15,000 each to adapt coastal marshes to sea level rise.
Sea Level Rise & the Conservation of Wetlands: Issues and Opportunities for C...riseagrant
1) The document discusses how municipalities in Rhode Island can incorporate projections of sea level rise and coastal flooding from the SLAMM (Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model) into their local comprehensive plans and policies.
2) It provides examples of how North Kingstown used SLAMM maps and data to update hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies in their comprehensive plan.
3) The document outlines challenges municipalities may face in planning for sea level rise and adapting infrastructure, and compares approaches some other states have taken through regulations and designated planning areas.
This document summarizes several local case studies on coastal communities in Rhode Island that are vulnerable to sea level rise. It describes modeling of 1 foot, 3 foot, and 5 foot sea level rise scenarios for the communities of Jamestown, Barrington/Warren, and Charlestown. For each community, the document identifies current land uses and infrastructure that are at risk of flooding and inundation. It also provides potential issues and opportunities to address the impacts of sea level rise through actions such as elevating roads, relocating facilities, protecting undeveloped lands, and coordinating land management between stakeholders.
Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM)riseagrant
The Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) simulates wetland conversions during sea level rise. It has been applied and improved since 1985 and used worldwide. The document describes how SLAMM models elevation, vegetation zones, accretion rates, and other parameters to project wetland impacts from sea level rise under various scenarios. It also notes limitations such as uncertainty in sea level projections and complexity of ground conditions and coastal dynamics.
Sea Levels Affecting Marshes Model Using SLAMM to Conserve Rhode Island’s Coa...riseagrant
This document summarizes information presented at a workshop on using the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) to project impacts of sea level rise on coastal wetlands in Rhode Island. Key points include:
- Tidal marshes provide important ecosystem services like habitat, water filtration, and flood protection. Rhode Island has lost over 50% of its historic salt marshes.
- Sea levels are rising faster in Rhode Island due to climate change, increasing the risk of wetland loss and property damage from flooding. The SLAMM model projects significant wetland loss under scenarios of 1, 3, and 5 feet of sea level rise.
- The SLAMM projections will help identify vulnerable wetlands and

6. GLD Approval Based on Showing of EffectsGLD Approval Based on Showing of Effects
Proposed GLDs must be geographically specific, apply to
specific listed federal license or permit activities, and based
on an analysis showing that effects on the state’s coastal
uses or resources are reasonably foreseeable.
Effect analysis does not have to show proof of coastal
effects, but must show a reasonable causal connection. The
effects analysis cannot be based on speculation or
conclusory statements.
A GLD does not need to delineate the boundary of where
effects are reasonably foreseeable and where they are not; it
only needs to show that within the area described that
effects are reasonably foreseeable.
7. Delaware based its findings of coastal effects
from offshore alternative energy projects on
potential migration disruptions to avian
species, acoustic and electromagnetic
disturbances to marine species; the effects of
exclusion zones on commercial and sport
fishing; interference with electronic
communications; and increased navigational
risks due to the rerouting of vessel traffic.
Avian impacts reduced after challenge from
BOEMRE.
Delaware’s final GLD for federal waters was
reduced to the BOEMRE MD/VA boundary
line as effects from alternative energy projects
not reasonably foreseeable in federal waters
off VA.
24 n.m. seaward boundary is based on the
area of potential environmental effects
described in the BOEMRE PEIS (2007) for
its offshore alternative energy program.
8. Connecticut initially proposed a
much larger GLD for OCSLA
offshore renewable energy
projects authorized by BOEMRE
– effects analysis not adequate.
The GLD was reduced to certain
fishing areas based on NMFS
statistical areas/data, which
provided a reasonable basis for
effects to commercial fishing in
these areas from potential
renewable energy development.

10. Federal Consistency and Regional CoastalFederal Consistency and Regional Coastal
and Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP)and Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP)
Ocean Policy Executive Order (E.O.) 13547, 75 Fed. Reg. 43022-43027 (July
22, 2010), establishing ocean policy, CMSP and National Ocean Council
(NOC).
State CMPs, state ocean management plans and state marine spatial planning
efforts, as well as state-led multi-state regional efforts, are expected to play a
role in the development of regional CMSPs.
States can use the CZMA federal consistency provision to ensure consistency
between CMPs and regional CMSPs certified by the NOC.
o States can use in their CMPs (and state OM Plans) administrative
efficiencies in NOAA’s regulations to facilitate and streamline federal
consistency reviews. These administrative efficiencies include, e.g., creating
thresholds for when a federal action would be subject to state CZMA
review, use a “general consistency determination” that would cover
multiple occurrences of a federal action, and eliminate certain federal
actions from consistency reviews (beneficial coastal effects, de minimis
coastal effects)).
11. Federal Consistency and Regional CoastalFederal Consistency and Regional Coastal
and Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP)and Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP)
o Regional Planning Bodies (RPBs) could agree to formally incorporate these
CZMA federal consistency administrative efficiencies into a regional CMS Plan;
o A regional CMS Plan could include measures to ensure that it is consistent to
the maximum extent practicable with the enforceable policies of the relevant
states’ coastal management programs and, vice-versa, states could consider
potential changes to the enforceable policies of their coastal management
programs to achieve agreed-upon regional CMS Plan objectives;
o States will likely be able to use the federal consistency provision to concur with
a NOC-certified regional CMS Plan as consistent with the enforceable policies
of a state’s coastal management program.
12. Federal Consistency and Regional CoastalFederal Consistency and Regional Coastal
and Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP)and Marine Spatial Plans (CMSP)
o A regional CMS Plan will not change the interstate consistency process. If a
state already has interstate consistency approval from NOAA, that approval will
not change.
o A regional CMS Plan may, however: (1) inform another state’s review
of an interstate activity, e.g., if the reviewing state agreed to the
regional CMS Plan, the state may choose not to review a federal action
in another state, because it is compatible with the regional CMS Plan;
and/or (2) mean that a state may choose to not seek interstate
consistency authority from NOAA.
