PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDMENTS TO THE RHODE ISLAND COASTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROGRAM:
RI Coastal Resources Management Program – Red Book Section 300.4 – Recreational Boating facilities (650-RICR-20-00-01.3.1(D))
Summary of Proposed Amendment to Red Book Section 300.4 (650-RICR-20-00-01.3.1(D)):
The purpose of the proposed regulation change is to reformat the existing CRMP (i.e., the Red Book) and amend Section 300.4 - Recreational Boating Facilities into the RI Code of Regulations (RICR) specified format. Upon adoption of this RICR formatted Red Book and proposed amendments to § 1.3.1(D) the existing Red Book, including Section 300.4, will be superseded in its entirety. The amendments incorporate desirable elements of the Council’s Pre-existing Residential Boating Facilities Program, new provisions to allow shared residential docks with adjoining property owners, and a prohibition of cribs located in coastal wetlands, along with other changes for conformance with the RICR and the Administrative Procedures Act R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-35. Upon adoption of the proposed CRMP § 1.3.1(D) amendments the CRMC’s existing regulations for Pre-existing Residential Boating Facilities Program (ERLID 4352) will be repealed.
The entire Red Book has been formatted for compliance with the RI Code of Regulations (RICR) specified format in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act, R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-35. However, only § 1.3.1(D) (formerly Section 300.4) has substantive amendments.
The RICR formatted Red Book is not attached to this public notice because of the substantial number of pages (295). The notice and reformatted Red Book with amendments to § 1.3.1(D) are available as a PDF file from the CRMC web site here: www.crmc.ri.gov.
New text is shown as underlined, and deleted text is struck through.
Note: The CRMC intends to adopt the “Red Book” in RI Code of Regulations (RICR) format with substantive amendments only to § 1.3.1(D) (formerly Section 300.4) - Recreational Boating Facilities. Upon the Council’s adoption of the RICR formatted Red Book and proposed amendments to § 1.3.1(D), the existing Red Book will be superseded in its entirety. Additionally, the Council’s Pre- existing Residential Boating Facilities Program will be repealed in its entirety. All existing Red Book definitions contained within individual sections have been deleted from those sections and moved to a unified definitions section in the front of this document at § 1.1.2. The CRMC intends to further amend other sections of the Red Book in the near future for compliance with the APA Rules and Regulations Formatting and Filing Manual.
