What this bill does
This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to update a specific map related to the Coastal Barrier Resources System. The changes would adjust the boundary of an "otherwise protected area" to align with the boundary of Cape Henlopen State Park. Specifically, the bill requires the exclusion of property leased by the Barcroft Company and Cape Shores Associates, both privately held Delaware corporations, from this protected area. It also mandates the inclusion of the northeastern corner of Cape Henlopen State Park that lies seaward of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal into the protected area.
This legislation would affect the mapping of the Coastal Barrier Resources System for a particular unit in Delaware, known as "Cape Henlopen Unit DE-03P." The primary impact would be on the designation of protected and unprotected lands near Cape Henlopen State Park, influencing development and conservation policies in those specific areas. The affected entities include the Barcroft Company, Cape Shores Associates, and Cape Henlopen State Park.
The bill was introduced in 1998 and has passed the Senate with an amendment. Its next step in the legislative process would be consideration by the House of Representatives. If passed by the House, it would then go to the President for signature into law.
