                 Background - What is "Permit                              The Purpose of This Guide
                 by Rule"?
                 The Permit by Rule (PBR) procedure is designed            Use this guide to help figure out how to take ad-
                 to make approval of some projects that are sub-           vantage of the Permit by Rule (PBR) procedure.
                 ject to the Natural Resources Protection Act              This guide supplements Chapter 305, the NRPA
                 (NRPA) quick and easy. Most projects subject              Permit by Rule " Standards" and the Permit by
                 to the Natural Resources Protection Act are ap-           Rule Notification Forms (Notice of Intent Form)
                 proved as Permit by Rule notifications.                   that you should obtain from one of the DEP of-
                                                                           fices. (See page 26 for the list of offices).
                 The idea is simple: if you notify the Department
                 of Environmental Protection (DEP) that you will
                 follow standard practices, you can begin work                                          . . . . . .
                 within 14 days, if they don't contact you. In other
                 words, for certain activities, if you agree in writ-
                 ing that you will abide by DEP's standards, you
                 can avoid the permit application process alto-
                                                                                                         in

               or project issues it does not address or fully cover,
               contact the DEP.

                                                                                                    








                                                                                 








               How to Determine if the PBR Procedure Applies to Your Project

               To determine if you are eligible to use the PBR procedure, follow these instructions:

               1.      Determine if the proposed project site is in or within 100 feet of a protected natural area (see
                      the "Protected Natural Resources" box on the next page, or refer to Volume 1).

                 2.     Determine if your project involves one (or more) of the seventeen activities (see pages 4, 5 and
                      6).

               3.     If your proposal meets both these tests, read the applicable standards in Chapter 305 of the
                      Permit by Rule Standards.
               4.     If you believe you can meet     all the Standards that apply to your situation, you are ready to file
                      notice of your intent to abide by the Standards. (See the example Notification Form on page
                      22).
               5.     If you cannot meet the Permit by Rule Standards, then you must (a)           Isubmit a complete NRPA
                      application (refer to Volume III) or (b) modify your project so it meets the PBR standards.

            Activities Allowed Under the Permit by Rule Procedure

            If you plan to undertake any one of the following activities you may obtain an NRPA permit by simply
            filing a PBR Notification Form. Under the PBR regulations, there are seventeen "activities" that the
            DEP will approve if you meet specific standards. The pennitted activities are:y

                   How to File Notice Under the Permit by Rule Procedure

                   Once you have obtained a PBR Notification Form and Standards from DEP and have studi          ed them along
                   with this guide, follow these steps in order to file notice:


                         Complete the PBR Notification Form (Notice of Intent Form - see page 22). Read the Instruc-
                         tions carefully!

                         Keep the bottom copy and mail (by certified mail, return receipt requested), the other two copies,
                         along with any required enclosures, to your local DEP office. (For addresses see "For More
                         Information" on-page 26.) Ensure that you enclose a map (see pages 8 and 24), a check for $35
                         (made payable to Treasurer, State of Maine) and a photograph of the site (see pages 9 and 10).

                         Wait 14 days (from the date the Department receives the PBR forms).
                   4*    Begin work if no one from DEP contacts you before the end of the waiting period; your com-
                         pleted Notification Form becomes your pem-dt. The permit is good for one year.

                   Note: (a) if you have any questions contact the nearest DEP office, and
                           (b) make sure you are not subject to any other local, state and/or federal requirements such as
                               the Shoreland Zoning Act, the Submerged Lands Act, or the Clean Water Act (see below).



                   Other Laws that May Apply

                   Filing a Notification Form under the NRPA Pem-lit by Rule procedure (or completing a full NRPA
                   application) does not mean that your project complies with other laws that may apply. Determine if
                   any one of the following apply in your situation:

                   LAW                               EXPLANATION

               2. PBR SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS


               All PBR Notifications require that you submit (A) a site location map and (B) photographs. This
               section tells you how to prepare the correct information to attach to your PBR Notification Form.

               A. How to Prepare a Site Location Map

               You are required to submit a USGS topographical map or a Maine Atlas and Gazetteer (Tm) map
               showing the location of your project site. Topo maps can be obtained from the Maine Geological
               Survey in Augusta, (see page 26) some sporting goods stores and bookstores. The Maine Atlas and
               Gazetteer is available in most bookstores or from DeLorme Mapping Company, Freeport, Maine. Make
               an 8 1/2" x 11" photocopy of the area of your site and clearly mark your project site on the map. The
               example below illustrates what DEP finds acceptable.



               Site Location Map
                                                                                                                  
               When preparing your site location
               map, make sure that:
                                                                                   
                   the map is clear and legible;

                    the exact site location is                                               
                     clearly marked with an
                     easy-to-read arrow and/or
                                                                          
                     circle; and                            

                   your name is written on the

                                                                                                  
                     map.


               For another example of a site loca-
               tion map see page 24.

               Note: This is a reduction; the map
               you submit must be 8 1/2" x 11".

                                                                              L3  state what the photo shows, where the work

                 How to Riprap Steep Slopes and Banks
                 What is Riprap?
                 Large angular shaped rocks carefully placed over a layer of gravel or filter blanket to cover a shoreland
                 slope to combat erosion are referred to as "riprap". Riprap should only be used on slopes and banks
                 that cannot be stabilized with vegetation. This section describes ways to install riprap to meet PBR
                 standards.




                 How to Install Riprap

                 Hay or Straw Mulch Application

                 When laying down mulch:

                 LJ  apply at a rate of 1 (one) bale per 500 sq. ft.;       L3 always mulch before any storm or downpour
                     spread the material evenly over the whole                   occurs; inspect the situation afterwards to
                     area; wet down to anchor.                                   make sure the mulch is effective; and

                 LJ  in windy areas, in the fall, winter or spring,         Ll   maintain the mulch surface until the area is
                     or on slopes of over 5%, anchor the mulch                   revegetated.
                     with netting, peg and twine or other method
                     so it doesn't wash away (see Anchoring, be-
                     low);


                   Anchoring Hay or Straw Mulch

                   When anchoring mulch:                                             Shallow
                                                                                    Slope
                   L3 on shallow slopes, lay strips of anchoring net
                       across the slope; on steep (+20%) slopes lay
                       the strips down the slope;

                                                                                              44
                   Ll anchor the upland edge of the net in a 6 inch
                       deep trench; and
                   Ll overlap net and mat edges 4" and staple the                       Steep
                       center every 3 ft. (see illustrations on the next                Slope
                       page)

                   Note: An acceptable alternative to hay and straw
                   mulch is hydro-mulching or seeding; this is a com-
                   mercial application of grass seed, fertilizer and a
                   specially formulated mulch that is sprayed onto
                                                                                                   41)1

                   after September 30.

               SPECIAL SITUATIONS

               Working with Pressure-Treated Lumber and Concrete

                If your project involves the placement of pres-
                sure-treated wood or concrete in wetlands,
                streams, lakes or rivers, follow these directions:

                1.    Cure Pressure-treated Lumber before              2.    Keep Fresh Concrete and Concrete
