 (3) degradation and loss of matters of
     state environmental significance          AO12.3 The design, construction and operation of an               N/A
     (including, but not limited to, coastal   artificial waterway in connection with the reconfiguration of

                                               (3) dredged material is not disposed of to tidal water
                                                     beyond the artificial waterway unless there is a
                                                     beneficial reuse, e.g. beach nourishment.
