Chief Environmental Planner Roland M. DeBlois reviewed the above memorandum in detail using aerial photographs to enhance his presentation. He discussed the 1981 and 1987 CCCLs, how they came about, DEP's position on both lines, and the County's approach with respect to construction outside of those lines. Commissioner Stanbridge inquired if DEP has done any re-evaluation of the critically eroded areas since the 1987 line was established, and Mr. DeBlois thought the State had not, but suggested our Coastal Engineer might be able to respond to that question. He believed the State relies on site -by -site calculation, that they require a 30 -year erosion estimate, and explained how the State does their calculation. Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar explained that the areas of critical erosion are updated through DEP annually by his office. During that time, they do not reconsider the position of the CCCL. They do re-evaluate where areas are critical or not critical. Commissioner Stanbridge asked what the average distance is between the 1981 and 1987 CCCLs, and Mr. Tabar explained that it can vary throughout the county. Vice Chairman Grin commented it was shocking that there is infrastructure seaward of the 1987 CCCL. Chairman Adams suggested that it was since the early 1980's that we have seen the exponential increase in the erosion on the county's shoreline. She then asked for public input.
