On February 17 the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council filed a legal memorandum with NOAA. The memorandum responds to a December 16 filing by Weaver’s Cove, which asked NOAA to interpret its regulations and decide whether RICRMC waived its right to federal consistency review under the CZMA. RICRMC’s memo argues that (1) a new consistency certification is required because of changes in the dredging plans, and (2) the review period for the original certification never began because Weaver’s Cove never provided the necessary data and information. The memo is available in the FERC e-Library at Docket No. CP04-36.
