|
|
The bill would
prohibit the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from issuing a
permit for metallic mineral mining under the Maine Metallic Mineral Mining
Act. The moratorium would eliminate any potential permit fee revenue from
accruing to the Metallic Mining Fund within the DEP. The moratorium would
also generate savings from elimination of any costs associated with the DEP's
permitting process. There are currently no requests for permits pending and
no indication there would be any forthcoming in the near future. |
