DEP Invites Comments On Coastal Resources Assessment, Strategy
|
|
The Department of Environmental Protection is inviting comments on its draft Coastal Resources Assessment and Strategy developed in accordance with section 309 of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act. (formal notice)
This assessment is part of a voluntary coastal zone enhancement grants program that encourages states and territories to develop program changes in one or more of nine coastal enhancement areas: coastal wetlands; coastal hazards; public access; marine debris; cumulative and secondary impacts; special area management planning; ocean/Great Lakes resources; energy and government facility siting and activities; and aquaculture.
Under this program, the United States Secretary of Commerce is authorized to make awards to states and territories to develop and submit for Federal approval program changes that support attainment of the objectives of one or more of the enhancement areas.
A copy of the draft assessment is available online. Comments are due August 2.
For more information, contact Kevin Hess, DEP Coastal Resource Specialist, by sending email to: khess@state.pa.us or calling 717-772-4785.
