Beach Regulatory Advisory Committee (RAC): Updates to Regulations Governing Beach Protection and the Use of Beaches
The Division of Watershed Stewardship’s Shoreline and Waterway Management Section is evaluating potential updates to the Regulations Governing Beach Protection and the Use of Beaches that will increase the effectiveness of the Coastal Construction Program and improve its protection of the beach and dune system. The purpose of updating the regulations is to incorporate recent legislative changes into the Beach Preservation Act (Del. Code Title 7, Chapter 68) and to incorporate Division policies and construction standards that will result in less damage to structures and stronger protection of dune and beach resources. The updates will also harmonize various provisions of the regulations and clarify the amount and type of construction permitted seaward of the Beach Preservation Building Line. Updates to the Beach Preservation Building Line will also be considered.
The Division of Watershed Stewardship has created the Regulatory Advisory Committee (RAC) as required by law to fully develop these regulatory revisions. The group of individuals asked to serve on this committee represent those with regulatory interest as well as technical expertise. This committee, which meets monthly, is charged with shaping updates to the current Regulations Governing Beach Protection and the Use of Beaches. Below are agendas, presentations and meeting minutes from those meetings.
