exempted from requiring a permit, to provide expedient action in order to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
This Resolution authorizes temporary emergency marine disaster debris management site and vessel
staging area on a Parcel of land known as the Cudjoe Transfer Station, for the collection, storage,
