Grays Harbor Estuary Management Plan: Program Final Environmental Impact Statement Washington State Coastal Zone Management Program, Amendment No. 3

摘要

The Grays Harbor Estuary Management Plan (plan) is a long-range, coordinated, comprehensive plan designed to guide future land and water use activities in Grays Harbor. It will be implemented through individual local Shoreline Master Programs under the Washington State Shoreline Management Act, other ordinances, and through various State and Federal regulations and permit actions. The focus of the plan is to define areas in which future activities and growth would be deemed acceptable while minimizing adverse impacts. The plan seeks to provide a balance between future development activities and the productive capacity of the estuarine system; minimize conflicts between resource users and regulators by enhancing the predictability of government permit decisions associated with the location of the future developments.
