Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
The following definitions apply whenever these terms are
					 used in this Chapter:
(1) "Normal High
				  Water" is the ordinary extent of high tide based on site conditions such as
				  presence and location of vegetation which has its distribution influenced by
				  tidal action, and the location of the apparent high tide line.
(2) "Normal Water Level" is the level of
				  water bodies with less than six inches of lunar tide during periods of little
				  or no wind. It can be determined by the presence of such physical and
				  biological indicators as erosion escarpments, trash lines, water lines, marsh
				  grasses, and barnacles.
(3) Unless
				  specifically limited, the term "structures" includes, but is not limited to,
				  buildings, bridges, roads, piers wharves and docks (supported on piles),
				  bulkheads, breakwaters, jetties, mooring pilings and buoys, pile clusters
				  (dolphins), navigational aids, and elevated boat ramps.
(4) "Mining" is defined as:
(a) the breaking of the surface soil in order
				  to facilitate or accomplish the extraction or removal of mineral, ores, or
				  other solid matter;
(b) any
				  activity or process constituting all or part of a process for the extraction or
				  removal of minerals, ores, soils, and other solid matter from their original
				  Location; or
(c) the preparation,
				  washing, cleaning, or other treatment of minerals, ores, or other solid matter
				  so as to make them suitable for commercial, industrial, or construction use.
This definition applies regardless of whether the mining
					 activity is for a commercial or noncommercial purpose, and regardless of the
					 size of the affected area. Activities such as vibracoring, box coring, surface
					 grab sampling, and other drilling and sampling for geotechnical testing,
					 mineral resource investigations, or geological research are not considered
					 mining. Excavation of mineral resources associated with the construction or
					 maintenance of an approved navigation project in accordance with
					 15A NCAC
					 07B .0200 of this Chapter is not considered
					 mining.

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) Description.
				  The Coastal Shorelines category includes estuarine shorelines and public trust
				  shorelines.
(1) Estuarine shorelines AEC are
				  those non-ocean shorelines extending from the normal high water level or normal
				  water level along the estuarine waters, estuaries, sounds, bays, fresh and
				  brackish waters, and public trust areas as set forth in an agreement adopted by
				  the Wildlife Resources Commission and the Department of Environmental Quality
				  [described in Rule .0206(a) of this Section] for a distance of 75 feet
				  landward. For those estuarine shorelines immediately contiguous to waters
				  classified as Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) by the Environmental Management
				  Commission (EMC), the estuarine shoreline AEC shall extend to 575 feet landward
				  from the normal high water level or normal water level, unless the Coastal
				  Resources Commission establishes the boundary at a greater or lesser extent
				  following required public hearing(s) within the affected county or
				  counties.
(2) Public trust
				  shorelines AEC are those non-ocean shorelines immediately contiguous to public
				  trust areas, as defined in Rule 07H .0207(a) of this Section, located inland of

North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 15A - Environmental Quality › Chapter 07 - Coastal Management › Subchapter H - STATE GUIDELINES FOR AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN › Section .0300 - OCEAN HAZARD AREAS › Section 07H .0302 - SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OCEAN HAZARD CATEGORY

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  Hazards associated with ocean shorelines are due to the constant forces exerted
				  by waves, winds, and currents upon the unstable sands that form the shore.
				  During storms, these forces are intensified and can cause changes in the
				  bordering landforms and to structures located on them. Ocean hazard area
				  property is in the ownership of a large number of private individuals as well
				  as several public agencies and is used by a vast number of visitors to the
				  coast. Ocean hazard areas are critical due to both the severity of the hazards
				  and the intensity of interest in these areas.
(b) The location and form of the various
				  hazard area landforms, in particular the beaches, dunes, and inlets, are in a
				  permanent state of flux, responding to meteorologically induced changes in the
				  wave climate. For this reason, the siting of development on and near these
				  landforms shall be subject to the provisions in this Section in order to avoid
				  their loss or damage. The flexible nature of these landforms presents hazards
				  to development situated immediately on them and offers protection to the land,
				  water, and structures located landward of them. The value of each landform lies
				  in the particular role it plays in affording protection to life and property.
				  Development shall not diminish the energy dissipation and sand storage
				  capacities of the landforms essential to the maintenance of the landforms'
				  protective function.

North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 15A - Environmental Quality › Chapter 07 - Coastal Management › Subchapter H - STATE GUIDELINES FOR AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN › Section .0300 - OCEAN HAZARD AREAS › Section 07H .0303 - MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE OF OCEAN HAZARD AREAS

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) The CRC
				  recognizes that absolute safety from the destructive forces of the Atlantic
				  Ocean shoreline is an impossibility for development located adjacent to the
				  coast. The loss of life and property to these forces, however, can be greatly
				  reduced by the proper location and design of structures and by care taken in
				  prevention of damage to natural protective features particularly primary and
				  frontal dunes. Therefore, it is the CRC's objective that development in ocean
				  hazard areas shall be sited to minimize danger to life and property and achieve
				  a balance between the financial, safety, and social factors that are involved
				  in hazard area development.
(b) The
				  rules set forth in this Section shall further the goals set out in
				  G.S.
				  113A-102(b), to minimize
				  losses to life and property resulting from storms and long-term erosion,
				  prevent encroachment of permanent structures on public beach areas, preserve
				  the natural ecological conditions of the barrier dune and beach systems, and
				  reduce the public costs of development within ocean hazard areas, and protect
				  common-law and statutory public rights of access to and use of the lands and
				  waters of the coastal area.

(a) For
				  purposes of this Rule, the following definitions apply:
(1) "Adverse impact", "adverse impacts",
				  "adverse effects", or similar formulations, are defined as an effect or impact
				  that is opposed to the goals of the Coastal Area Management Act as found in
				  G.S.
				  113A-102(b) and with the
				  provisions of
				  G.S.
				  113-229(e).
(2) "Significant" as used in this Section
				  includes consideration of both context and intensity. Context means that the
				  impact or effect shall be analyzed from several perspectives that include
				  society as a whole (human, national), the affected subregion of the North
				  Carolina coast, the local area and all directly and indirectly affected
				  parties. Both short- and long-term effects are relevant. Intensity refers to
				  the severity of impact or effect. The following shall be considered in
				  evaluating intensity:
(A) both adverse impacts
				  as defined in Subparagraph (a)(1) of this Rule and impacts that promote or
				  enhance the goals of the Coastal Area Management Act as set out at
				  G.S.
				  113A-102(b);
(B) the degree to which the proposed action
				  affects public health or safety;
(C) unique characteristics of the geographic
				  area;
(D) the degree to which the
				  effects on the quality of the human environment are likely to be disagreed
				  upon;
(E) the degree to which the
				  possible effects on the environment are uncertain or involve unique or unknown
				  risks;
(F) the degree to which the
				  CRC's permit decisions may establish a precedent for future CRC permit
				  decisions;
(G) the degree to which
				  the CRC's permit decisions are related to other CRC permit decisions with
				  individually insignificant but cumulatively significant impacts. Significance
				  cannot be avoided by terming an action temporary or by breaking it down into
				  small component parts; and
(H) the
				  degree to which the CRC's permit decision may cause the loss or destruction of
				  scientific, cultural, historical, and environmental resources as those terms
				  are commonly defined and understood.
