PREAMBLE

Under 12 MRSA §1867, the State of Maine reserves to itself title and ownership to all logs resting on publicly owned Submerged Lands. This statute authorizes the Director of the Bureau of Parks and Lands to establish a program allowing the Bureau to issue authorizations for the salvage and sale of sunken logs. The program, as set forth in these Rules, needs to be carefully administered to ensure that it is consistent with purposes as described below and the Bureau's overall stewardship role of public lands.

Summary

These Rules set forth the Bureau's requirements regarding the salvage of sunken logs on publicly owned Submerged Lands. These Rules also establish the procedures for granting sunken log salvage authorizations and for determining compensation to the State for sale of these logs.
