§3116. Coordination and cooperation
A. It is the policy of this chapter that the authority development program be pursued so that there is full coordination and cooperation between agencies and groups that have complementing or overlapping interests and the authority. It is not the policy of this chapter that the authority development program be pursued independently and with a view toward narrow, short-term interests.
B. The executive director shall take affirmative steps to fully coordinate all aspects of the authority development program with the secretary of the Department of Conservation and Energy or his designee charged with the development of the coastal zone management plan.
C. The executive director shall take affirmative steps to ensure that the authority development program is coordinated into the planning programs of other modes of transportation, to include rail, road, waterway, air, and pipeline, so that there is a long-term and orderly pursuit of transportation services in the coastal zone which are interrelated and coordinated so as to achieve the most efficient and economical transportation program that is feasible and that will be least destructive of other values in the state.
D. The executive director shall ensure that the appropriate federal agencies which are required by federal law to plan or regulate transportation facilities or programs are consulted regularly and are fully involved in the authority development program where appropriate.
