Section Env-Wt 609.02 - Hierarchy of Tidal Shoreline Stabilization Methods

Applications for tidal shoreline stabilization projects shall demonstrate that:

(a) The technique or combination of techniques is based on best available scientific and engineering practices; and
(b) The proposed technique or combination of techniques addresses:
(1) Results of the avoidance and minimization narrative required in Env-Wt 311.07, the avoidance, minimization, and mitigation demonstration required in Env-Wt 313.03 and Env-Wt 313.04, the CFA required in Env-Wt 603.04, and the project design narrative required in Env-Wt 603.06;
(2) Any causes of erosion that can be identified;
(3) The degree or extent of erosion;
(4) Relative exposure based on shoreline geometry, shore orientation, intensity of boat traffic, influence of adjacent structures, storm surge, and extreme precipitation events;
(5) Potential sea-level rise and vulnerability assessment under Env-Wt 603.05;
(6) Potential marsh migration as a result of sea level rise as shown on the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) wetlands bureau One-Stop mapper; and
