Snowe-Mello said she too valued the state's lakes


Snowe-Mello said she too valued the state's lakes and ponds, but that shoreland zoning puts too many restrictions on property owners, who can't build or use their land the way they see fit.

"Even President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a strong environmentalist, recognized that the right to own property came before environment issues," she said.

Snowe-Mello said she planned to amend her bill on enforcement of environmental infractions so that the five-year statute of limitation doesn't kick in until after a violation is reported. The bill currently states that the enforcement limit triggers when the violation occurs.

The current language concerned Sean Mahoney, the Maine director of the Conservation Law Foundation,bestwatches who said violators would be able to escape accountability and leave the state and municipalities with the burden of proving when the infraction happened.sunglasses

NRCM highlighted Saviello's bill to amend enforcement of the Statewide Uniform Building Code. Rep.watchesforwomen Lance Harvell, R-Farmington, has a bill that would repeal the law.watches

The group also made note of a proposal by Rep. Jeffrey Timberlake, R-Turner,hats to decrease the notification area for aircraft-delivered pesticides, also known as crop dusting. State law currently requires the landowner using pesticides to notify all of his neighbors within a 1,320-foot radius. Timberlake’s bill would essentially reduce the radius to 100 feet, about one-third of the size of a football field.
