STATEHOUSE- Indiana State Representative Steve Davisson (R-Salem) authored a House resolution urging the legislative council to assign the Environmental Quality Service Council to study the topic of a single point contact for submitting permit applications for either Water Quality Certification, state regulated wetlands or the state’s Flood Control Act. “Under current law, our Hoosier farmers face a bureaucratic nightmare in acquiring the proper paperwork to clear log jams and blockages from their property,” said Rep. Davisson. “As the process drags out, these farmers lose valuable land due to erosion by flooding and shifting of river and creek banks. In urging the Environmental Quality Service Council to address this issue, we hope to streamline the process and eliminate unnecessary blockades.” |
