Coastal Inlet Hazard Zones on Hold
Due to enormous political pressure, the Coastal Resources Commission has put an immediate hold on the proposed updated maps and rules for the new Coastal Inlet Hazard Zones. Division of Coastal Management staff has been working on updating the coastal erosion rates for some time and it was determined that the best course of action was to get the new rates in place before proceeding with the Coastal Inlet Hazard update. Based upon the DCM’s timeframe it may well be mid-spring 2011 before this issue resurfaces.
