Regulation Authority:
RIGL 46-23 et. seq
Purpose and Reason:
The Hazards Chapter of the Metro Bay SAMP seeks to advise the communities, state and local governments, and the public on the relevant coastal hazard issues in the Metro Bay region and propose recommendations to effectively address and mitigate those hazards. The subject regulations were adopted by the Council in 2009 as part of the Metro Bay Region SAMP. In 2016, the legislature passed an amendment to R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-35-5(b) that required the Secretary of State to oversee the publication of an updated uniform code of state regulations, the Rhode Island Code of Regulations (RICR). The Natural Hazards chapter contains findings and recommendations, but does not contain any enforceable policies or standards. Accordingly, the CRMC plans to repeal the Hazards chapter and include the chapter’s findings and recommendations within the Metro Bay Region SAMP guidance document to provide helpful information to assist with compliance with the RICR portions of the Metro Bay Region SAMP (650-RICR-20-00-5).
