Part 23 - RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE COASTAL WETLANDS PROTECTION LAW AND THE MISSISSIPPI COASTAL PROGRAM
Chapter 08 - Requirements for Conducting Regulated Activities
Section 22-23-08-113 - Activities Affecting Coastal Wetlands
Current through March 14, 2024
113.01 Activities affecting coastal wetlands, but located outside of coastal wetlands must not affect the following characteristics to a greater extent than would otherwise be allowed under Chapter 08, Sections 100 through 112 and 114 through 117:
113.02 Activities in the Coastal Zone requiring a Section 404 permit from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for discharges into navigable waters of the United States, their tributaries, and adjacent wetlands are highly likely to affect coastal wetlands by altering the characteristics of the ecosystem. These activities may constitute regulated activities under M.C.A. § 49-27-5(c) (ii) and (iii). Where such activities are conducted outside of coastal wetlands, proper application to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers constitutes sufficient notification to the Department and the Commission.
113.03 The activities listed below are not likely to affect coastal wetlands when located outside of the navigable waters of the United States, their tributaries, and adjacent wetlands. Therefore, the Commission will not assert authority over these activities under the Wetlands Act when these activities are conducted using generally accepted construction practices.
