Section 5.95.610. Kachemak Bay and Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Areas Management Plan.

The goals and policies of the Kachemak Bay and Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Areas Management Plan dated December 1993 are adopted by reference. The plan presents management goals and policies for the critical habitat areas and their resources which the department will use in determining whether proposed activities in the critical habitat areas are compatible with the protection of fish and wildlife, their habitats, and public use of the critical habitat areas. Under 5 AAC 95.420, a special area permit is required for certain activities occurring in a designated state critical habitat area. The department will review each special area permit application for consistency with the goals and policies of the management plan adopted by reference in this section. A special area permit for the Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area or the Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Area will be approved, conditioned, or denied based on the criteria set out in the goals and policies in the Kachemak Bay and Fox River Flats Critical Habitat Areas Management Plan, and on the standards contained elsewhere in 5 AAC 95.
