When properly Installed, sand fences help build dunes by trapping wind=btown sand. But if installed improperly, they can impede public access to ihp beach, and can trap or endanger sea turtles, their nests or hatchlings. Under the new guidelines, property owners who follow certain criteria will be eligible for an exemption from Coastal Area Management Act permit requirements. If properly owners want to put up sand fences that differ from the criteria, they will have to apply for a CAMA rrrl development permit. The new rules do not apply to fen installed priarto Aug.1. What the guidelines say The guidelines create a CAMA minor permit and an ekemiptict(for'satitl f®ndi4. Td Aiiaillyt'forth °b)(00tibn, installation of new sand fencing has to meet the following criteria: • The fencing must be no taller than 5 feet and built from evenly spaced thin wooden vertical slats connected with twisted wire. • The fencing must be placed as far landward as possible to avoid interference with sea turtle nesting, public access and use of the beach. it must not be placed on the wet=eand beach. • If fencing is to be placed parallel to the shoreline, it must not be located waterward of the crest of the frontal or primary dune. • If fencing is to be placed waterward of the crest of the dune, it must be installed at a 45-degree or greater angle to the shoreline. Each section of fence must not be longer than 10 feet, and sections must be spaced at least 7 feet apart. • Fencing must not extend more than 10 feet beyond either the first line of stable natural vegetation, the toe of the frontal or primary dune, or the erosion escarpment of the dune, whichever is closest to the water. • Sand fencing to be placed along public accesses may be as long as the access, and may include a 45-degree funnel on the waterward and. The funnel may extend up to 10 feet beyond the end of the access. Why the guidelines are needed In recent years, the amount of sand fencing along the coast has grown significantly as property owners sought to protect their homes from storms and long-term beach erosion. As such, miles of sand fencing — some of which is improperly installed or neglected — now line the state's beaches. Because improper sand fencing can pose a threat to sea turtles, the state Witdltfe Resources Commission has developed voluntary sand fencing guidelines. Several beach communities had attempted to address the issue through sand fencing ordinances, but the scope of the problem required state attention. The CRC's new regulatory guidelines were developed in cooperation with the WRC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Last Modified: January 29, 2003 FIRST L1NE Olt TABEI� A►Tij U!
