Are they saying the MHWL is the same as the CCCL? Kinda sounds like it.![]()
Not at all. CCCL (Coastal Construction Control Line) is a line of jurisdiction for permitting on the state level with FDEP. It is typically around the dune line (but is not the dune line).
You may have it confused with an ECL (Erosion Control Line) that is a property boundary line that is established prior to a beach restoration project in the state of Florida. The linkage between an ECL and a MHWL is that an ECL is established at the location of the MHWL. The methodology for establishing an ECL is the same as I listed above for the MHWL and then it involves public hearings, adoptions, etc. There is no ECL in the Blue Mountain area.
If there is no beach restoration project there is no ECL (plus the legality of the ECL/property line issue is currently at the State Supreme Court).
