CHAPTER 07 - COASTAL MANAGEMENT
SUBCHAPTER 07H - STATE GUIDELINES FOR AREAS
OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
SECTION .0200 – THE ESTUARINE AND OCEAN
SYSTEMS
15A NCAC 07H .0205 COASTAL WETLANDS
(a) Description. Coastal wetlands are defined as any salt marsh
or other marsh subject to regular or occasional flooding by tides,
including wind tides (whether or not the tide waters reach the
marshland areas through natural or artificial watercourses),
provided this shall not include hurricane or tropical storm tides.
Coastal wetlands contain some, but not necessarily all, any of
the following marsh plant species:
(1) Cord Grass (Spartina alterniflora),
(2) Black Needlerush (Juncus roemerianus),
(3) Glasswort (Salicornia spp.),
(4) Salt Grass (Distichlis spicata),
(5) Sea Lavender (Limonium spp.),
PROPOSED RULES
23:16 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER FEBRUARY 16, 2009
1574
(6) Bulrush (Scirpus spp.),
(7) Saw Grass (Cladium jamaicense),
(8) Cat-tail (Typha spp.),
(9) Salt Meadow Grass (Spartina patens),
(10) Salt Reed Grass (Spartina cynosuroides).
The coastal wetlands AEC includes any contiguous lands
designated by the Secretary of ENR DENR pursuant to G.S.
113-230 (a).
(b) Significance. The unique productivity of the estuarine and
ocean system is supported by detritus (decayed plant material)
and nutrients that are exported from the coastal marshlands. The
amount of exportation and degree of importance appears to be
variable from marsh to marsh, depending primarily upon its
frequency of inundation and inherent characteristics of the
various plant species. Without the marsh, the high productivity
levels and complex food chains typically found in the estuaries
could not be maintained.
Man harvests various aspects of this productivity when he fishes,
hunts, and gathers shellfish from the estuary. Estuarine
dependent species of fish and shellfish such as menhaden,
shrimp, flounder, oysters, and crabs currently make up over 90
percent of the total value of North Carolina's commercial catch.
The marshlands, therefore, support an enormous amount of
commercial and recreational businesses along the seacoast.
The roots, rhizomes, stems, and seeds of coastal wetlands act as
good quality waterfowl and wildlife feeding and nesting
materials. In addition, coastal wetlands serve as the first line of
defense in retarding estuarine shoreline erosion. The plant stems
and leaves tend to dissipate wave action, while the vast network
of roots and rhizomes resists soil erosion. In this way, the
coastal wetlands serve as barriers against flood damage and
control erosion between the estuary and the uplands.
Marshlands also act as nutrient and sediment traps by slowing
the water which flows over them and causing suspended organic
and inorganic particles to settle out. In this manner, the nutrient
storehouse is maintained, and sediment harmful to marine
organisms is removed. Also, pollutants and excessive nutrients
are absorbed by the marsh plants, thus providing an inexpensive
water treatment service.
(c) Management Objective. To conserve and manage coastal
wetlands so as to safeguard and perpetuate their biological,
social, economic and aesthetic values; to coordinate and
establish a management system capable of conserving and
utilizing coastal wetlands as a natural resource essential to the
functioning of the entire estuarine system.
(d) Use Standards. Suitable land uses shall be are those
consistent with the management objective in this Rule. Highest
priority of use shall be is allocated to the conservation of
existing coastal wetlands. Second priority of coastal wetland use
shall be is given to those types of development activities that
require water access and cannot function elsewhere.
Unacceptable Examples of unacceptable land uses may include,
but would not be limited to, the following examples: restaurants
and businesses; residences, apartments, motels, hotels, and
trailer parks; parking lots and private roads and highways; and
factories. include: restaurants, businesses, residences,
apartments, motels, hotels, trailer parks, parking lots, private
roads, highways and factories. Examples of acceptable land uses
may include utility easements, fishing piers, docks, wildlife
habitat management activities, and agricultural uses, uses such
as farming and forestry drainage, drainage as permitted under
North Carolina's Dredge and Fill Act Law or other applicablea
applicable laws.
In every instance, the particular location, use, and design
characteristics shall be in accord with the general use standards
for coastal wetlands, estuarine waters, and public trust areas
described in Rule .0208 of this Section.
(e) Alteration of Coastal Wetlands. Alteration of coastal
wetlands includes mowing or cutting of coastal wetlands
vegetation whether by mechanized equipment or manual means.
Alteration of coastal wetlands by federal or state resource
management agencies as a part of planned resource management
activities is exempt from the requirements of this Subsection.
Mowing or cutting of coastal wetlands by academic institutions
associated with research efforts shall be allowed subject to
approval from the Division of Coastal Management. Alteration
of coastal wetlands is governed according to the following
provisions:
(1) Alteration of coastal wetlands is exempt from
the permit requirements of the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) when conducted in
accordance with the following criteria:
(A) Coastal wetlands may be mowed or
cut to a height of no less than two
feet, as measured from the coastal
wetland substrate, at any time and at
any frequency throughout the year;
(B) Coastal wetlands may be mowed or
cut to a height of no less than six
inches, as measured from the coastal
wetland substrate, once between each
December 1 and March 31;
(C) Alteration of the substrate is not
allowed;
(D) All cuttings/clippings shall remain in
place as they fall;
(E) Coastal wetlands may be mowed or
cut to a height of no less than six
inches, as measured from the coastal
wetland substrate, to create an access
path four feet wide or less on
waterfront lots without a pier access;
and
(F) Coastal wetlands may be mowed or
cut by utility companies as necessary
to maintain utility easements.
(2) Coastal wetland alteration not meeting the
exemption criteria of this Rule shall require a
CAMA permit. CAMA permit applications
for coastal wetland alterations shall be subject
to review by the North Carolina Wildlife
Commission, North Carolina Division of
Marine Fisheries, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and National Marine Fisheries Service
in order to determine whether or not the
proposed activity will have an adverse impact
on the habitat or fisheries resources.

(2 Non-cumulative. Compensatory leave time is
not cumulative beyond a 12-month period.
For this reason, an employee must be required
to take compensatory leave time as soon as
possible after it is credited.
(3) Non-transferable. Compensatory leave time
may not be transferred to any other type of
leave or to another agency.
(4) Separation. Compensatory leave time is lost
when an employee is separated from state
service. The employee's separation date may
not be moved forward in order to pay for
compensatory time.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The meeting was called to order at 9:05 a.m. with Mr. Funderburk presiding. He reminded the Commission members that they have a
duty to avoid conflicts of interest and the appearances of conflicts as required by NCGS 138A-15(e). Vice Chairman Funderburk
asked for any discussion, comments, or corrections concerning the minutes of the December 18, 2008 meeting. There were none and
the minutes were approved as distributed.
FOLLOW-UP MATTERS
10A NCAC 13P .0102, .0202, .0205, .0510 – Medical Care Commission. The Commission approved the rewritten rules submitted by
the agency. The Commission has received at least 10 letters of objection to Rule .0102 so this rule is subject to legislative review.
12 NCAC 10B .0103 – Sheriff's Education and Training Standards Commission. The Commission approved the rule submitted by the
agency. Commissioner Venable voted against the motion to approve the rule.
12 NCAC 10B .0202 – Sheriff's Education and Training Standards Commission. No action was taken by the Commission at the
agency's request. Review of this rule is delayed until the next meeting.
12 NCAC 10B .0703, .0911, .0912, .0919, .0920 – Sheriff's Education and Training Standards Commission. The Commission
approved the rewritten rules submitted by the agency.
13 NCAC 13 .0413, .0420 – Department of Labor. The Commission approved the rewritten rules submitted by the agency.
15A NCAC 02B .0602, .0604, .0606, .0607, .0608, .0609 – Environmental Management Commission. The Commission approved the
rewritten rules submitted by the agency.
15A NCAC 02D .1110 – Environmental Management Commission. This rule was approved at the December 18, 2008 meeting. The
Commission rescinded last month's approval of this rule. An identical rule and amendment was approved at the May RRC meeting
and was already in the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC). The rule approved in December was unchanged from the rule
approved in May and currently in the NCAC. The most recent version will be returned to the agency.
15A NCAC 02D .1205, .1212 – Environmental Management Commission. The Commission heard from Frank Sheffield who
represented WASTEC and Mike Abraczinskas who spoke for the Division of Air Quality. No action was taken.
15A NCAC 18A .2606 – Commission for Public Health. This rule was withdrawn by the agency.
15A NCAC 18A .3606 – Commission for Public Health. The agency decided not to change the rule to satisfy the Commission's
objection and asked that the rule be returned. The rule will remain in the NCAC as it currently is since the objection applied to the
amendment and not to existing language. The rule will be returned to the agency.
21 NCAC 14H .0105 – Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners. The Commission objected to the rewritten rule based on lack of authority
or ambiguity. It is unclear in (e) that only willful violations of the board's rules, including its sanitation rules, can be used to revoke or
suspend a letter of approval or permit. The rule is a violation of G.S. 88B-24(8). There is no authority for the board to attempt to
revoke or suspend a license for less than a willful violation.
21 NCAC 34A .0124, .0126 – Board of Funeral Service. The Commission approved the rewritten rules submitted by the agency.
21 NCAC 34B .0211, .0213, .0310 – Board of Funeral Service. The Commission approved the rewritten rules submitted by the
agency.
21 NCAC 34C .0305 – Board of Funeral Service. The Commission approved the rewritten rule submitted by the agency.
21 NCAC 34D .0201, .0303 – Board of Funeral Service. The Commission approved the rewritten rules submitted by the agency.
RULES REVIEW COMMISSION
23:16 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER FEBRUARY 16, 2009
1586
21 NCAC 34D .0203 – Board of Funeral Service. This rule was withdrawn by the agency.
21 NCAC 63 .0302 – Social Work Certification and Licensure Board. The Commission approved the rewritten rule submitted by the
agency.
LOG OF FILINGS
Vice Chairman Funderburk presided over the review of the log of permanent rules.
All permanent rules were approved unanimously with the following exceptions:
02 NCAC 38 .0203, .0701: Board of Agriculture – The Commission objected to this rule based on ambiguity. It is unclear what the
meaning of "significantly" is in (1)(f)(iii) on page 2 line 11. It is unclear what the standards are that will be used to determine whether
the changes in potential exposures are significant.
10A NCAC 27A .0401, .0402, .0403, .0404: HHS-Mental Health – These rules were withdrawn by the agency.
10A NCAC 27G .0504: HHS-Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services – The Commission objected
to this rule based on lack of authority. There is no authority cited for the provision in (a), (d) and anywhere else in this rule requiring
private providers to establish a "Client Rights Assurance Committee."
Commissioner Venable made the motion to object to the above rule and in answer to a question from Commissioner Gray added to the
motion to approve the remainder of the Mental Health rules. Commissioners Crisp, Gray, Gregory, Lewis, Twiddy, and Venable
voted in favor of the motion. Commissioner Horton voted against the motion.
Prior to the review of the permanent rules from the Private Protective Services Board, Commissioner Gray recused himself and did not
participate in any discussion or vote concerning these rules because he is under contract with the Private Protective Services Board to
teach.
12 NCAC 07D .0402: Private Protective Services Board – The Commission objected to this rule based on lack of statutory authority
and ambiguity. It is not clear what standards the Board will use in approving a school specializing in counterintelligence. While the
Board has authority to approve schools, it must adopt the standards by rule. This objection applies to existing language in the rule.
12 NCAC 07D .0501: Private Protective Services Board – The Commission objected to this rule based on lack of statutory authority
and ambiguity. In (a)(2), it is not clear what standards the Board will use in approving a polygraph school, and there is no authority
cited to set the standards outside rulemaking. This objection applies to existing language in the rule.
12 NCAC 09B .0301: Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission – This rule was withdrawn by the agency and
re-filed for the next month's meeting.
12 NCAC 09H .0101, .0102, .0103, .0104, .0105: Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission – These rules were
withdrawn by the agency and re-filed for the next month's meeting.
15A NCAC 03H .0102, .0103: Marine Fisheries Commission – These rules were withdrawn by the agency.
15A NCAC 03I .0101: Marine Fisheries Commission – The Commission objected to this rule based on lack of statutory authority and
ambiguity. In (5)(i), it is not clear what standards the Division will use in approving paper forms or electronic data files. It is also not
clear what other information is required by the Division. There is no authority cited to set requirements other than by rulemaking.
15A NCAC 03I .0104: Marine Fisheries Commission – The Commission objected to this rule based on ambiguity. In (b)(1), it is not
clear what diseases are "diseases of concern." In the last sentence in (b), it is not clear what standards will be used to determine if an
applicant must have additional analyses performed. In (c), it is not clear what standards the Fisheries Director will use in determining
whether to require the listed conditions for a permit.
15A NCAC 03J .502: Marine Fisheries Commission – The Commission objected to this rule based on ambiguity. In (e)(6), it is not
clear what standards the Fisheries Director will use to determine if a proposed pound net set is in the public interest.
RULES REVIEW COMMISSION
23:16 NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER FEBRUARY 16, 2009
1587
15A NCAC 07J .0701: Coastal Resource Commission – The Commission objected to this rule based on lack of authority. In (a) this
rule sets out certain legal positions that are outside the agency's rulemaking authority or are unnecessary:
1. The first sentence states that a person denied a permit may seek a variance from the normal permit conditions. This
is acceptable for the agency to specify.
2. However at the end of that first sentence and further in this paragraph and in (c)(6) the agency sets out the proviso
that if the applicant wishes to do that, he cannot either then or later file a contested case proceeding over the initial
agency decision. Any dispute over the agency's initial decision must be settled prior to seeking a variance appears to
be the agency's position. This may or may not be a correct statement of the consequences of the APA and other NC
law, but it is not within the agency's authority to attempt to write that law. To the extent that it is a correct statement
of the law, then this portion of the rule is unnecessary.
While the agency is entitled to set certain conditions in seeking a variance, the agency may not require an applicant to give up an
avenue of due process that might be granted by the APA in order to seek some other relief that might be available and to which the
applicant is entitled. The last sentence of (a) sets certain conditions that must be met prior to seeking a variance and these conditions
are within the agency's authority.
15A NCAC 07J .0703: Coastal Resources Commission – The Commission approved this rule contingent on receiving a requested
technical change. The technical change has not yet been made. The agency wants their Commission to review the change first. The
rule will be reviewed again at the February RRC meeting.
TEMPORARY RULES
Vice Chairman Funderburk presided over the review of the log of temporary rules.
All temporary rules were unanimously approved by the Commission.
