B. 

In beach areas:

Excavation, grading or mining which diminishes the erosion protection afforded by the beach as then configured;

(2) 

Construction of new structure(s) unless otherwise specifically authorized by this chapter;

(5) 

Activities not otherwise authorized by this chapter.

(6) 

Pedestrian traffic which causes sufficient damage to primary dunes to diminish the erosion protection afforded by them.

D.

Excavation, grading or mining except:

(a) 

The minor alteration of a bluff subject to such reasonable conditions as may be set forth in a coastal erosion management permit issued therefor; and

A bluff cut made in a direction perpendicular to the shoreline to provide shoreline access so long as: the ramp slope of the bluff cuts shall not exceed 1:6; the side slopes shall not exceed 1:3, unless terraced or otherwise structurally stabilized; side slopes and other disturbed non-roadway areas are stabilized with vegetation and/or other approved physical means; completed roadways are stabilized with adequate drainage, all of which shall be subject to such reasonable conditions as may be set forth in the permit therefor.

(2) 

Vehicular traffic;

(3) 

All construction or installation of improvements unless otherwise authorized by the provisions of this chapter;

(4) 

Disturbance of soil(s) which may be reasonably anticipated to result in the redirection of surface water runoff over a bluff face;

Disturbance to active bird nesting and breeding areas unless part of an authorized wildlife management activity, evidenced by a duly authenticated written approval by the Department of Environmental Conservation;

(6) 

All other activities unless otherwise authorized by the provisions of this chapter.
