Questions 1-3 in the Abbreviated Consistency Evaluation are most applicable to mariculture facilities. The
Division of Coastal and Ocean Management (DCOM) anticipates that the remaining questions regarding
statewide ACMP standards will have a “No” answer. Please contact DCOM if you answer “Yes” to questions 4
through 12.
1) 11 AAC 112.200 Coastal Development: How is your project economically or physically dependent on a
coastal location? Why are you proposing to place the project at the selected location?
2) 11 AAC 112.220 Coastal Access: Please explain how the proposed project will maintain and, where
appropriate, increase public access to, from and along coastal water.
3) 11 AAC 112.300 Habitats: Does your project involve any work in:
(a) Offshore areas (submerged lands and waters seaward of the coastline as measured from mean low tide)?
Yes ____ No ____
(b) Estuaries (a semi-closed coastal body of water that has a free connection with the sea and within which
seawater is measurably diluted with freshwater derived from land drainage)? Yes ____ No ____
(c) Tideflats (mostly non-vegetated areas that are alternately exposed and inundated by the falling and rising of
the tide)? Yes ____ No ____
(d) Wetlands (saltwater wetlands and those freshwater wetlands that have a direct drainage to coastal waters)?
Yes ____ No ____
(e) Rivers, streams, and lakes and the active floodplains and riparian management areas of those rivers, streams,
and lakes? Yes ____ No ____
