DEP Sand Rule (j) To protect the environmental functions of beaches only beach compatible fill shall be used. Beach compatible fill is material that maintains the general character and functionality of the material on the beach. The fill material shall be predominately of carbonate, quartz or similar material, shall be similar in color and grain size distribution to the material on the beach and shall not contain: 1. Greater than 5 percent, by weight, silt, clay or colloids; 2. Greater than 5 percent, by weight, fine gravel; 3. Coarse gravel, cobbles in a percentage or size greater than found on the native beach; 4. Construction debris, toxic material or other foreign matter; and 5. Not result in cementation of the beach.

Beach Bill (S.B. 758) DEP staff cant require terms and conditions in the nourishment permit without relying on existing rules. Staff must cite applicable statutes and rules when making requests for more information. DEP must substantially streamline the permitting process for re-nourishment projects if there are no major changes in successive projects. Intent is process oriented and it is not intended to compromise resource protection! Devil is in the details.

I sure hope the beach hasn’t changed too much when I return! Thank You

DEP Sand Memo Conservation of Fish and Wildlife and their Habitats: While we must consider the potential for adverse impacts to fish and wildlife and their habitats, we must keep the following fact clear in our minds: The restoration of a critically eroded beach increases habitat and has been determined by the legislature to be in the public interest.

Beach Bill (S.B. 758) Permits can be issued before the USFWS issues its BO and ITP. But work cant commence until issuance. DEP staff cant require terms and conditions in the renourishment permit without relying on existing rules. Staff must cite applicable statutes and rules when making requests for more information. DEP must substantially streamline the permitting process for re-nourishment projects if there are no major changes in successive projects. Intent is process oriented and it is not intended to compromise resource protection! Devil is in the details.
