Lt, you may be right, unless it is all private property, and a simple water line running across it. Might be something as easy as a local municipal permit to replace the existing line.
I just read it as the DRMS saying that they can't approve work on land outside the CGFI property line.
You know how these things go, if you ever had to put up a fence or put an addition on to your house. It seems nit-picky, but that's government agencies for you!
Either way, it shouldn't be a big deal. Just a matter of paper work.
I see all of that DRMS correspondence as a great sign. CGFI is getting all the work done that they can before the mill approval.
I feel like a kid waiting for Santa!
