Commissioner Jean-Pierre L. Oriol of the Department of Planning and Natural Resources informs the public that 
the following St. Croix Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Committee Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 18, 
2023, at 5:30 pm. In an effort to help to reduce the global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), this meeting 
will be held via the video conferencing platform Zoom.   
 
The agenda is as follows:  
 
Public Hearing (public testimony will be heard) 
Federal Consistency Determination, CZM0009-23(FC), has been submitted by the Virgin Islands Water & 
Power Authority (WAPA). VIWAPA proposes the burial of utility lines in Estate Hannah’s Rest, Frederiksted, 
St. Croix. The proposed federally funded underground project will install underground ducts with manholes, 
pad-mount transformers, and other underground devices to replace existing overhead distribution lines. 
 
Major CZM Permit Application, CZX-11-18(L), has been submitted by VIGL Operations, LLC (VIGL). VIGL 
proposes to modify Major CZM Permit CZX-11-18(L) by reducing the scope for the reconstruction and 
improvements to the Randall “Doc” James Racetrack Project. The modified scope will reduce the size of the 
grandstanding building, paddock, stalls, stables and parking area. The project site is located at Section 5 
Estate Manning Bay, St. Croix, Virgin Islands. 
 
The applications are available for public review on the DPNR-CZM Website https://dpnr.vi.gov/coastal-zone-
management/what-we-do/coastal-zone-permitting/
