Description

PL 648 as passed by the 118th Legislature directed that "...the Maine Forest Service, in consultation with the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection, shall develop a report with recommendations for a set of statewide standards to minimize the impact of timber harvesting on nonpoint source pollution."

The legislation also directed the Maine Forest Service (MFS) to:

  1. evaluate the progress made by timber harvesting operations in implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs); and
  2. to make a recommendation regarding the use of compliance with BMPs as a determinant of enforcement proceedings.

Additionally, the legislation directed that MFS submit the report to the Land and Water Resources Council (LWRC) for review.
