| This bill requires the Department of Environmental |
| Protection to request and consider comments from the Maine |
| Land Use Regulation Commission on projects that are partially |
| within the commission's jurisdiction but will not require a |
| permit from the commission under the Maine Revised Statutes, |
| Title 12, section 685-B, subsection 1-A, paragraph B. The |
| bill also clarifies that the department must protect |
| outstanding river segments and protect against erosion and |
| sedimentation, regardless of whether the project is located |
| within organized or unorganized areas. |
