Mills administration's stance on Penobscot Bay water quality demonstrated by DEP folding to political pressure and cravenly, illegally, moving forward on Nordic AquaPharm application, declaring that, while the company's application is not lawfully admissable due to an abundance of legal documentation proving it lacks ANY physical access to Penobscot Bay - a necessity for both its intake water pipeline and discharge water pipelines - the application can move forward .
This despite the company's inability to respond to DEP in any factual way to the charges, Despite repeated deadline extensions .
Despite knowing that it is wrong, very wrong to approve a permit application for processing without proof it has the access to the bay that it MUST have to operate at all.
Despite all that, the Mills administration decided that it didn't need to care if the application was legal or not. It was moving ahead. and declaring the grotesquely incomplete application as "complete" , and fobbing it off to the still Lepage appointees-dominated Board of Environmental Protection to decide. As if!
