The Coastal Manual Training Session on the South Shore has been rescheduled from December 13, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., to January 11, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) are continuing to hold training sessions to provide an overview of the publication, Applying the Massachusetts Coastal Wetlands Regulations: A Practical Manual for Conservation Commissions to Protect the Storm Damage Prevention and Flood Control Functions of Coastal Resource Areas<http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/stormsmart-coasts/coastal-manual/>, otherwise known as the Coastal Manual. The Coastal Manual provides direction to Conservation Commissions and applicants to address the impacts that proposed projects may have on the storm damage prevention and flood control functions of coastal resource areas. The guidance helps interpret the existing Wetlands Protection Act Regulations, clarifies how coastal resource areas are delineated, expands on the description of their functions, and guides applicants and Conservation Commissions on how to apply and meet performance standards. In addition, the manual explains in detail how Commissions should use the best available tools, data, and information for a complete and accurate project review.



The training workshop on the South Shore is now scheduled for: January 11, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., at the Kingston Town Hall, Selectmen Room, 26 Evergreen Street, Kingston.
