Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 22-23-09-102
Current through March 14, 2024
In cases where a permit is required for the erection of structures on suitable sites for water dependent industry, because the structure is being built by a non-water dependent industry, the Department will consider the following in making its recommendations, along with comments received through the policy coordination procedures.
102.01 Factors in favor of granting a permit:
102.01.01 Technical and economic
requirements; great weight will be given to granting permits for expansions of
industries located on the waterfront, where such expansion involves the use of
product outputs; by products, or common production facilities.
102.01.02 Where failure to grant permit would
render site unsuitable for beneficial uses.
102.01.03 Where the proposed structure would
not impair future waterfront industrial development of the site.
102.01.04 Good faith plans for waterfront
uses (plans for speculative wetland filling will not be considered "good
faith").
102.01.05 Uncommonly high
ratios of new jobs to the area of the site proposed for development.
102.01.06 Where a special area management
plans provides for the activity in question.
102.02 Factors for conditioning or denying a permit:
102.02.01 Where alternative, feasible
sites exist.
102.02.02 Where siting
is not required on technical or economic grounds.
102.02.03 Where a permit would result in an
activity inconsistent with the Mississippi Coastal Program.
102.02.04 Where a permit would result in an
activity injurious to public health and safety.
