This bill amends the Natural Resources Protection Act to authorize the Department of Environmental Protection to approve a permit or permit by rule for a one-time increase in the height of a seawall or similar structure in a coastal sand dune system, as long as the seawall is in existence on January 1, 2025, the height of the seawall is increased by no more than 2 feet and the seawall otherwise meets all applicable requirements adopted by the department by rule. The bill provides a similar allowance for a 2-foot height increase where a seawall has been destroyed or threatened and is replaced after emergency action.
