DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION -- BUREAU OF PARKS AND LANDS

Will any part of your structure or activity extend beyond the mean low tide line in coastal waters or natural low water in a great pond?

If you answered yes, your project extends over State-owned submerged land and, in most cases, you are required by law to obtain a conveyance from the Department of Conservation, Bureau of Public Lands (BPL). Submit a copy of your Permit By Rule Notification together with a site plan to BPL, or call (207)287-3061 for more information.

The site plan need not be professionally drawn or scaled, but must contain the following information:

1. The location and dimensions of all structures or soil disturbances that extend into

the water.

2. The location of the mean low water mark with respect to the structures or soil disturbances.

3 . Which parts of the structure are removed for at least five months of each year.

4. Which parts were in place before October 1, 1975, if any.

Please send this information to:

Bureau of Public Lands

22 State House Station

Augusta, ME 04333-0022

BPL will notify you of any requirements for a conveyance upon receipt of your site plan.

Failure to obtain a conveyance from the Bureau of Public Lands is a violation Of State Law and may cause considerable construction delays or require removal of your structure.
