I'm gonna point you. Call to order, August 11th, 2026 Coastal Zone Advisory Committee. Everyone please stand for the pledge and a moment of silence. Pledge leads. Undergo liberty for business of order approval of previous meetings minutes. Can I have a motion to approve meetings minutes? I'll approve them. Thanks for your morning. Second. Cast your boats. Motion approves. Oh, I'm looking at the whole one. Sorry. All right. Manager briefing for JPAs. There we go. Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have four joint permit applications from the previous month. Three of them are of state concern, open for public comment, and one with our has already received a termination. The first one is P20260574 is a state concern. Phillips 66 is proposing an anomaly pipeline repair at sites along their six-inch existing pipeline ID'd as RV-4-7. The proposed anomaly repair is for three sites three on an existing pipeline, and I believe they should be numbered in the plates that were provided to you all. The workspaces will be accessed from an existing levee, an existing limestone road, and an existing pipeline right away. No trees are to be cleared to access the sites or perform the repairs. Approximately 355 cubic yards of excavation and 94 cubic yards of topsoil, dirt, and earth and fill are required for the permit. The site is located on Chitamacha Aboriginal grounds. The current recommendation for this permit is a coastal use permit. They have not determined yet if the species that are going to be impacted by the excavation and fill are of wetland species or not. So that's currently under determination by the core. All right. This is open for public comment. P20260574. Anyone wishing to speak, come to the mic. Second call for open public comment. P two zero two six zero five seven four. Seeing none, public comment closed. Any comment from the board? Any questions? Yes, sir. They have to do some uh wellness determination or before they they start the work. Yes. So that is that has been um there has been a field assessment that was submitted alongside with this. Um it was submitted to the Department of Conservation and Energy, which is also goes to Army Corps to do a review and determine whether or not mitigation will be required. So as of right now, it's that's basically what's keeping it out of an exemption determination for predetermination. So currently it's listed as a coastal use permit that could potentially go down to a no direct or significant impact, which would remove the requirement for any mitigation costs to be assessed with this. So they just need to review the site to determine what the impacts are gonna look like. So it's not like an emergency repair. No, sir. No, it was not an emergency uh, it was not an emergency permit submitted.
