Pfeiffer Sand Dune Permit
I noticed in the Times Record, a filing of notification on the part of Frank K. Pfeiffer, Jr. to file a Natural Resources Protection Act Coastal Sand Dune Permit for tax map 14, lot 127 (end of Surf Street - see map below)at Popham Beach. This application is on file at the Portland DEP offices and is supposed to be at the Phippsburg town Hall. The notice was filed on the 19th and says that the application should be complete by the 25th of May. There is then a period of twenty days for the public to comment, and to request a public hearing on the matter, once the application is complete.It was in the DEP offices as of Friday the 28th and was dated the 25th of May, 2005.

I believe the project may set precedents for other development in this time of severe erosion at Popham. This will be a "full" sand dune permit, as the original Permit By Rule was rejected because of possible "significant communities " and at the discretion of the DEP because of its proximity to the front dunes. If you want to have a public hearing on the matter, as I do, you must request one in writing to:

Department of Environmental Protection

Division of Land Resource Regulation

Bureau of Land and Water Quality
