reservoirs. In response to the
Commission’s March 17, 2011 public
notice of the updated SMP, two parties
filed motions to intervene in opposition
and several parties filed comments in
opposition to the updated SMP.
Between December 9, 2011, and
February 6, 2013, the licensee,
intervening parties, and non-decisional
Commission staff participated in
settlement proceedings to resolve
disputed issues with the updated SMP.
On February 28, 2013, the licensee filed
a Revised SMP Update that is the result
of the settlement proceedings, and
proposes several minor changes and the
following major changes to the January
3, 2011 SMP filing: (1) Replacing the
‘‘50% Rebuild Rule’’ with three new
provisions for permitting, maintaining,
and replacing existing structures; (2)
revising the process for obtaining a
variance from SMP procedures; (3)
adding language to clarify the
expectation that replacement vegetative
cover would flourish; and (4) clarifying
the actions the licensee may take if
shoreline uses or occupancies are not
constructed according to a permit.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street NE., Room
