Applications Which Have Been Out-to-Notice for 30 days and are Before the Full Council for Decision:

2012-02-080 DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT – Allow 4 floating docks with tie off piles on the south side of the Alofsin dock (Ft. Adams) and the 1 floating dock on the north side of the pier that were permitted as temporary docks to become permanent. The docks were installed as part the Americas Cup race series and other park improvements. The project includes a modification to the Marina Perimeter Limit to include the new structures. Located at plat 47, lot 2; Harrison Avenue, Newport, RI.

Ratification by the Council of CRMC Executive Director's Federal Consistency Determination:

2012-01-027 RHODE ISLAND AIRPORT CORPORATION -- TF Green Airport – Extension of Runway 5-23 approximately 1530 feet south for a total runway length of 8700 feet and the relocation of Main Avenue to the south to facilitate the extension at the Runway 5 end. In addition, Runway 16-34 safety enhancements will require a partial relocation of Airport Road 100 feet north of the current intersection with Post Road to accommodate the installation of engineered materials arresting system (EMAS). EMAS will also be installed at the Runway 5 end to reduce the degree of relocation needed for Main Avenue. The safety improvements to Runway 34 end, which include EMAS, necessitate the placement of fill material into approximately 5.0 acres of freshwater wetlands that form the headwaters of Buckeye Brook. The proposed wetland fill activity triggers both federal (USACE) and state (RIDEM) wetland permit requirements. Located at 2000 Post Road, Warwick, Rhode Island.

Public Hearing on Changes to the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Program:

Narrow River Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) – The Council is considering amending Chapter 9 of the Narrow River SAMP in its entirety. Specifically, the prohibition in Section 940.C.1(b) is being amended to provide for development on parcels with available sewer line in cases where limited wetland filling is needed to gain access to the parcel. In addition, a number of technical corrections are proposed for outdated existing text.
