the Commission has standing and the right and authority to initiate or intervene in
any administrative, judicial, or other original proceeding or appeal in this State
concerning a project approval in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area OR THE ATLANTIC
COASTAL BAYS CRITICAL AREA. The chairman may exercise this intervention
authority without first obtaining approval from the Commission, but the chairman
shall send prompt written notice of any intervention or initiation of action under this
section to each member of the Commission. The chairman shall withdraw the
intervention or action initiated if, within 35 days after the date of the chairman's
notice, at least 13 members indicate disapproval of the action, either in writing
addressed to the chairman or by vote at a meeting of the Commission. A member
representing the local jurisdiction affected by the chairman's intervention or action
may request a meeting of the Commission to vote on the chairman's intervention or
action.

diminish the continued ability of populations of affected species to sustain
themselves.
