NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Brief Synopsis of the Subject, Substance and Issues

The Department is proposing to amend the Accidental Release Prevention Regulation to include 1999, 2000 and 2004 amendments made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Accidental Release Prevention Requirements contained in federal rule 40 CFR Part 68. The Department believes these amendments are already in effect for regulated Delaware facilities and that this amendment will have no impact on them. In addition, several minor changes and corrections are proposed for the ‘Additional Delaware Accidental Release Prevention Provisions’ contained in Section 6.0 of the Regulation. Specifically this includes minor changes to the Delaware only lists and simplifying Delaware risk management plan submission requirements. Again, the Department believes these corrections and changes will have no impact on Delaware only regulated facilities. In summary, the purpose of this proposed amendment is a correction to the Delaware regulation; bringing it into agreement with the most recent federal rule changes.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Brief Synopsis of the Subject, Substance and Issues

These Proposed Regulations are revisions to existing regulations that have been in effect since 1983. The proposed revisions will increase the effectiveness of the Coastal Construction Program and improve its protection of the beach and dune system. They will also reduce ambiguity within the regulations and limit the amount and type of construction permitted seaward of the Building Line. Redrawing of the Building Line, incorporation of changes to the Beach Preservation Act and the addition of new construction standards for waterfront buildings will all result in less damages to structures and improvements to the natural dune and beach resource.

While this regulatory action is intended to modify currently existing regulations, it was not possible, or preferable, to show additions as underlines, or deletions as strikeouts – as is normally required. This is because the redraft of the regulations was so extensive and the new numbering so drastically different than the previous regulations, that to be comprehensible to the reader, we opted to abandon the normal strike out and underline protocol and instead provide the reader with an index of new provisions with old section numbers and a compilation of major changes to the overall regulation.

Notice of Public Comment

A Public Hearing has been scheduled for December 14th at 6:00 p.m., in the DNREC Auditorium
