To the Editor:

Call-out to all LBI homeowners: Did you know that the state Department of Environmental Protection is proposing actions in the 2024 PACT (Protection Against Climate Threats) land use rules?

One of the proposed rules is the creation of Inundation Risk Zones (IRZ) for all coastal communities that includes all of LBI. That means that any applicant for a DEP permit for a new bulkhead or to repair an existing one will have to file a deed notice stating that the property is expected to be under water.
