CALL TO ACTION:
Register to speak on Friday, May 10th, Item 7. Energy, Ocean Resources & Federal Consistency. Rather than having a full-fledged hearing on this Coastal Development Permit, the Executive Director is allowing the item to be a Coastal Development Permit de minimis waiver. Which means the Executive Director has made a determination that the permit No. 9-23-0874-W, for Equinor Wind US LLC to conduct their site surveys will have no adverse effect on coastal resources. See this reference from the Coastal Act - Coastal Act section 30624.7 “A proposed development is de minimis if the executive director determines that it involves no potential for any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources….”
