(d) Where an acknowledged Goal 16 exception has been taken, areas of biologic significance which are potentially suitable for commercial, recreational or industrial development due to their proximity to subtidal channels, developed or developable shorelands or developed estuarine areas, and to the availability of services.

(f) Mining and mineral extraction;

(g) Storm water and sewer outfalls;
