AI Summary

This bill exempts coastal resiliency projects from regulation under the Wetlands Protection Act for work in land subject to coastal storm flowage, and instead regulates them as limited projects for work in other coastal wetland resource areas. It also amends the law to require an Order of Conditions or Determination of Applicability to be issued for such projects before they can be exempt from the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act review process. The bill defines "coastal resiliency projects" as structures or fill intended to protect existing and proposed structures, utilities, transportation, and infrastructure from the impacts of coastal flooding and sea level rise. The Department of Environmental Protection is authorized to promulgate regulations to implement these provisions after consultation with relevant stakeholders.
