The Department may, at its discretion, authorize multiple uses by a holder under one authorization. The Department will evaluate the proposed project as a whole, and offer the authorization that accommodates the longer term use. For example, the Department may evaluate a project that includes environmental dredging for one year and monitored natural recovery for twenty years. In this example the Department would offer one easement, or lease, that would authorize both uses of state-owned submerged and submersible lands.
