Current through 2024-13, March 27, 2024

SUMMARY: These rules provide that the Board has to be satisfied that the long term anchoring of tankers in Maine waters must be safe, environmentally sound and not interfere with existing uses before a tanker will be allowed to anchor for the sole purpose of staying over for a period of time. Exemptions to the permit requirements are allowed for routine activities and emergency storage in the event of shortage of product. Application procedures and information needed to support an application are outlined in detail.

BASIS STATEMENT:

Persons who wish to anchor tankers for the purpose of laying up tankers need to know the standard they need to satisfy as well as the procedures that need to be followed to obtain a permit. These rules make applicants aware of the process by which the applications will be evaluated and of their rights and obligations.
