| Industry Meeting Scheduled with Maine DEP Regarding Review and Compliance with Wet Deck Spraying of Logs | 2008-04-01 |
The Maine Department of Environmental Quality (DEP) recently alerted NELMA and the forest industry in Maine about their intent to review the practice of wet deck spraying of logs at facilities that are covered by the current “Multi-Sector General Permit” for stormwater discharge. NELMA, in conjunction with the Maine Forest Products Council, has set-up a meeting for forest industry personnel in Maine to meet with State DEP officials and inspectors to discuss their plans for a 2-year review process. The meeting is scheduled to be held as follows:
Wednesday, April 30
10:00 a.m.
Offices of the Maine Forest Products Council
535 Civic Center Drive
Augusta Maine
Please contact Sue McCarthy at (207) 622-9288 to sign-up and for directions.
We encourage the industry to take advantage of this opportunity to hear more about the DEP’s plans and question State officials regarding any potential impact on the forest products industry. | |
