We filed Permit by Rule Notification Form with Maine DEP on Oct. 20 along with the required documents including Fortunes Rocks Beach Sand Dune Geology Map, U.S.G.S. topography map of the location, site and building plans, and others. By rule, the permit is automatically granted after 14 days if DEP fails to respond. We were notified about the deficiencies in our application on the last day. After two weeks of interaction with the agency, our DEP application was approved on Nov. 15.
