1. ACMP Review Project Review Training Session April 24-26, 2007 Anchorage

2. ACMP Mission Statement The Alaska Coastal Management Program provides stewardship for Alaskas rich and diverse coastal resources to ensure a healthy and vibrant Alaskan coast that efficiently sustains long-term economic and environmental productivity.

3. Project Consistency Reviews Implement the ACMP The ACMP uses the project consistency review process to manage on-the-ground use and development of coastal resources. The review process results in a determination about whether a project is consistent with the ACMP and whether modifications to the project are necessary. A concurrence is necessary for state and federal agencies to issue permits.

4. ACMP Resources Statutes and Regulations: AS 46.40; 11 AAC 110 (Project Review), 112 (Statewide Standards) and 114 (District Plan Regulations) Classification of State Agency Approvals, known as the ABC List Coastal District Plans – containing enforceable policies Coastal Zone Boundaries of Alaska Coastal Project Questionnaire ACMP Website: www.alaskacoast.state.ak.us

5. Roles & Authorities Roles & Authorities for the ACMP Consistency Review Process

6. Coordinates consistency reviews Maintains and updates the coastal project questionnaire (CPQ) Acts as a facilitator to resolve conflicts for single agency reviews (when requested) OPMP: Roles & Authorities OPMP: 11 AAC 110.030

7. Nothing in 11 AAC 110 diminishes a state agencys authority A state resource agency : –coordinates a consistency review for projects that require authorizations only from that agency –participates in OPMP- coordinated ACMP reviews (Articles 2, 3, and 4) State Agencies: Roles & Authorities State Agencies: 11 AAC 110.050

8. State Resource agencies shall issue authorizations in conformity with the district enforceable policies of the approved coastal management plans and the statewide standards 11 AAC 110.050(b) State Agencies: Roles & Authorities State Agencies: 11 AAC 110.050

9. Are directed to send CPQ to OPMP if they determine a federal authorization and/or permits from more than their agency are needed. Applicant should also be directed to contact OPMP. 11 AAC 110.205 Resource agencies must wait for the coordinating agency to issue the final determination before issuing a permit 11 AAC 110.050 (d) State Agencies: Roles & Authorities State Agencies: 11 AAC 110.050

10. Resource agency permits must be issued within five days of receipt of the final determination unless additional time is necessary to fulfill a statute or regulation 11 AAC 110.010(f) Resource agencies may deny an authorization under their own authorities even if a project is found consistent with the ACMP. 11 AAC 110.050(i)

11. A coastal resource district: may participate in the consistency review process, is considered an affected coastal district under certain circumstances, and has expertise in the interpretation of its program. Coastal Districts: Roles & Authorities Coastal Districts: 11 AAC 110.060

12. A district may participate in a consistency review as an affected coastal district if: –The project is located in the coastal district, or –The project is located outside of the district, but it has a direct and significant impact on a coastal resource or use within the coastal zone and within the coastal resource district boundaries Coastal Districts: Affected District Status Roles & Authorities Coastal Districts: Affected District Status

13. direct and significant impact" means an effect of a use, or an activity associated with the use, that will proximately contribute to a material change or alteration of the coastal waters, and in which (A) the use, or activity associated with the use, would have a net adverse effect on the quality of the resources; (B) the use, or activity associated with the use, would limit the range of alternative uses of the resources; or (C) the use would, of itself, constitute a tolerable change or alteration of the resources but which, cumulatively, would have an adverse effect Direct and Significant Impact 11 AAC 114.990(13)

14. If potentially affected, a coastal district may: participate in pre-application meetings, participate in determination of scope, submit written comments, and If affected, a coastal district may: request more information, before RFAI deadline, request an elevation.
