Present law prohibits use of a state or local concern in the coastal zone without receiving a
coastal use permit and authorizes the secretary of the Dept. of Natural Resources to
promulgate rules and regulations on the issuance of such permits.
Proposed law prohibits the issuance of a coastal use permit or concurrence to any other
permit to excavate any borrow pit within two hundred feet of any residence, school, church,
or hospital.
