The subject project will be executed in a manner that is consistent with the overarching goals and policies of the Virgin Islands Coastal Zone Management Program (VICZMP); “To ensure environmental and economic sustainability for future generations.” Accordingly, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented to mitigate potential environmental impacts, such as soil erosion and sedimentation, due to storm water run-off, by utilizing silt fabric filters in all project site manholes, silt fencing and/or grass seeding. Further, as it is the intent of VIDE to obtain all applicable permits from the Department of Planning & Natural Resources (DPNR), there will be strict compliance to all permit terms and requirements. The proposed activity is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the Virgin Islands Coastal Zone Management Program and will be conducted in a manner consistent with such program.” 2 | P a g e Attached please see Part 2 - Project Summary demonstrating the project’s compliance with the U.
