I just had a preliminary jurisdictional determination complete by Providence Engineering. The contact person is Paul Clifton. Paul is the Director over the group at Providence that deals with natural resource regulatory concerns. Paul's email address is
paulclifton@providenceeng.com. His cell phone number is 225-939-1317. Do you know if you are in a Coastal Planning Zone? If you are this triggers additional permitting obligations and the national exemptions do not apply. If you are not in a CPZ your best approach is to try to make the exemptions work.
