Back on August 21st we filed a petition with DEP requesting they take enforcement action on the Clary Lake Water Level Order [WLO]. We finally received a response from DEP Commissioner Paul Mercer by way of a letter from him dated October 17, 2017. The Commissioner said that the Department had previously attempted to address violations of the Clary Lake water level order through the negotiation of a consent agreement but was unable to reach agreement with the owner of the dam. The Department now awaits the decision of the Court. While the Department response did not come as a huge surprise, we are nonetheless disappointed that they have chosen not to take further action at this time.
Here’s the letter:
My apologies for not posting this sooner. Life happened.
Oh sure, now let’s allow Kelley to argue his mute point to the Supreme Court. What a joke this is, if they allow this to continue. Just a total disgrace for all of us.
They’ve indicated their intention to take this to the Supreme Court from the very beginning. It isn’t clear however if the Law Court will take this case. We’ll see.
I also think it behooves us to think positively and don’t bleed before we’re shot!
As long as this debacle has been going on I think I’ll start stockpiling bandages.
Know anyone looking for a great deal on a currently overpriced former lakeside cottage?
Hang in there Stephen. We’re closer to the end than the beginning.
