<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>COASTSWEEP 2010 Kicks Off at Lynn Shore & Nahant
Beach<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>On September 25, CZM Director Deerin Babb-Brott
welcomed more than 90 dedicated volunteers to kick off the 2010 COASTSWEEP at
the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s (DCR) <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/lynnshores.htm">Lynn Shore
& Nahant Beach Reservation</a>. COASTSWEEP, the annual statewide beach
cleanup organized by CZM and the UMass Boston Urban Harbors Institute, is part
of the <a
href="http://www.oceanconservancy.org/site/PageServer?pagename=icc_about">Ocean
Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup</a>. This year’s kickoff
location was selected to recognize the efforts of Salem Sound Coastwatch (SSCW)
and their new Adopt a Beach program—through which more than 100 community
volunteers have signed up to serve as year-round “beachkeepers.”
SSCW trains these beachkeepers to identify and monitor sources of
contamination, identify invasive species, observe conditions such as erosion,
and clean up trash at their adopted beaches. In addition to Adopt a Beach
participants, many other volunteers were on hand to launch the 2010 cleanups,
including members of the Friends of Lynn & Nahant Beach and Nahant SWIM.
For details, see the <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eoeeapressrelease&L=1&L0=Home&sid=Eoeea&b=pressrelease&f=100927_pr_coastsweep&csid=Eoeea">EEA
press release</a>. More than 100 sites will be cleaned at COASTSWEEP cleanups
scheduled along the Commonwealth's coast throughout September and October. To
participate or organize a cleanup, go to the <a

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>StormSmart Coasts Regulations Adopted in Oak Bluffs<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>On September 16, the Oak Bluffs Zoning Board of
Appeals voted unanimously to adopt <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/stormsmart/resources/oak_bluffs_regs.pdf">special
permit regulations</a> (PDF, 53 KB) associated with the town's recently adopted
floodplain overlay district bylaw. Oak Bluffs is one of CZM’s <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/stormsmart/">StormSmart Coasts</a> pilot
communities, and CZM provided assistance to a team of local officials to
develop these special permit regulations. The new regulations: provide fair and
equitable submission requirements and design criteria/performance standards to
minimize potential loss of life, destruction of property, and environmental
damage; enable safe access for homeowners and emergency response personnel; and
diminish monetary loss and public health threats. When the pilot project began,
CZM staff provided assistance in drafting amendments to the town’s
existing floodplain overlay district bylaw, which were then adopted by town
meeting in May by a near unanimous vote. The bylaw allows specific land uses by
special permit, so CZM and Oak Bluffs officials then focused on preparing
special permit regulations that clarify the process and parameters for
development within the floodplain district. The new regulations also
incorporate recommendations from CZM’s <a
href="http://www.mass.gov/czm/coastal_landscaping/index.htm">coastal
landscaping website</a>. Landscapes with native plants can help coastal
property owners prevent storm damage and erosion, provide wildlife habitat, and
reduce coastal water pollution—all while improving a property's visual
appeal and natural character. CZM congratulates the town of Oak Bluffs for it
progressive work to protect its residents, businesses, and natural resources.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>CZM Assists in the Incorporation of International
Building Code into State Standards<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>CZM, in collaboration with DCR and the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), recently assisted the
Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Board of Building Regulations and
Standards (BBRS) in writing the section of the 8<sup>th</sup> Edition of the State
Building Code pertaining to floodplains and coastal dunes. For the
Massachusetts code, DPS wrote “front end amendments” to modify the
2009 International Building Code (IBC) to be specific to the Commonwealth. For
example, the 2009 IBC did not have prescriptive requirements that all new
buildings in coastal dunes be constructed on open pilings—but this
specific provision was included in the front end amendments. Builders now need
to read both the International Code and the Massachusetts specific amendments.
The new code for commercial buildings (larger than two-family residences) went
into effect on August 6. Until February 6, 2011, builders can choose to build
under either code, without mixing provisions. After that time, the new code
must be used. Copies of the front end amendments and the 2009 IBC are available
from the <a href="http://www.sec.state.ma.us/spr/sprcat/catidx.htm">State
Bookstore</a>. The BBRS, with the help of CZM, MassDEP, and DCR, is now working
on amendments for the International Residential Code (one- and two-family
homes). For more information, see the <a

<p class=CZ-MailSubhead>CZ-Tip: Explore the Shore this Fall<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=CZ-MailParagraph>Summer may be officially over, but that doesn’t
mean that beach season has to come to a close. Crystal clear fall days and the
lingering (relative) warmth of the ocean water—along with open parking
spaces—can make fall one of the best times to explore the shore in
Massachusetts. With hundreds of places to access sandy beaches, rocky
coastline, pristine salt marshes, and bustling ports and harbors—there is
something for everyone. For more information on coastal access in the
