Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act

[43 Pa.B. 7184]
[Saturday, December 7, 2013]

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is reviewing a proposed project at the site of the former Avonia Beach Boat Club Marina on the Lake Erie Shoreline in Fairview Township, Erie County, for consistency with the Pennsylvania Coastal Resources Program's (CRM) enforceable policies, as required by the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C.A. §§ 1451—1466). This project is subject to the Department review for conformance with Federal coastal zone consistency requirements because it is a Federal license and permit activity and is located within this Commonwealth's designated coastal zone.

 The applicant, James Aviation, Inc., proposes to remove a portion of the former marina and reconstruct other portions. The applicant has applied to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for a dredge and fill permit under section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1344). The entire north marina bulkhead wall and concrete rubble and northeast marina bulkhead wall will be removed. The stacked 2` x 2` x 6` concrete blocks from the top of the northern end of the west marina bulkhead wall will be removed. The remaining western wall will stay as a groin structure and will be approximately 220 feet long and between 6 feet to 12 feet wide. Rubble will be placed along the eastern side of the west bulkhead wall for approximately 105 feet landward from the northern end and along the entire western side of the east bulkhead that will remain as a groin structure. Approximately 1,500 cubic yards of alluvial deposits will be removed from within the existing marina to the existing shoreline between the east and west groin structures. This project was also announced at 43 Pa.B. 4895, 4925 (August 24, 2013) and on Saturday, September 24, 2013, by the United Sates Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District (Notice No. 13-42, Application No. 1997-168).

 The Department is reviewing this project for consistency with CRM's enforceable policies in accordance with 15 CFR Part 930 (relating to Federal consistency with approved coastal management programs) of the Federal coastal consistency regulations. Interested parties may request complete project information and information on CRM's enforceable policies from the Department contact listed as follows.

 The Department will consider all comments relating to Federal consistency received by December 23, 2013, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by electronic mail, must include the originator's name and address.
