What criteria does the ACMP use to evaluate my project?
The ACMP
applies to projects within or affecting Alaska's coastal
zone. The statewide standards (11 AAC 112) and coastal district
enforceable policies of the ACMP provide direction for coastal
resources and uses, such as:
- coastal
development (whether a project is water-dependent or
water-related),
- habitats
(such as wetlands, tideflats, or streams),
- air,
land, and water quality,
- transportation
and utility routes and facilities,
- timber
harvest,
- mining
and mineral processing,
- subsistence
opportunities,
- recreation
designations,
- geophysical
hazard areas,
- historical
and archaeological resources,
- energy
facilities, and
- fish
and seafood processing.
Using the statewide
standards and local enforceable policies, the ACMP evaluates the effects
a project will have on the above coastal resources and uses. Projects
must be consistent with the requirements found in the standards and enforceable
policies. |
