§ 34:3116 — Coordination and cooperation

§3116. Coordination and cooperation
A. It is the policy of this chapter that the authority development program be pursued
so that there is full coordination and cooperation between agencies and groups that have
complementing or overlapping interests and the authority. It is not the policy of this chapter
that the authority development program be pursued independently and with a view toward
narrow, short-term interests.
B. The executive director shall take affirmative steps to fully coordinate all aspects
of the authority development program with the secretary of the Department of Conservation
and Energy or his designee charged with the development of the coastal zone management
plan.
C. The executive director shall take affirmative steps to ensure that the authority
development program is coordinated into the planning programs of other modes of
transportation, to include rail, road, waterway, air, and pipeline, so that there is a long-term
and orderly pursuit of transportation services in the coastal zone which are interrelated and
coordinated so as to achieve the most efficient and economical transportation program that
is feasible and that will be least destructive of other values in the state.
D. The executive director shall ensure that the appropriate federal agencies which
are required by federal law to plan or regulate transportation facilities or programs are
consulted regularly and are fully involved in the authority development program where
appropriate.
