Section 71-3607. Coordination with local governments

1.  Whenever  the  department is granted an environmental easement, it
  shall provide each  affected  local  government  with  a  copy  of  such
  easement  and  shall  also  provide a copy of any documents modifying or
  terminating such environmental easement.
    2. Whenever an affected local government receives an application for a
  building  permit  or  any  other  application  affecting  land  use   or
  development  of  land  that  is subject to an environmental easement and
  that  may  relate  to  or  impact  such  easement,  the  affected  local
  government shall notify the department and refer such application to the
  department.  The  department  shall  evaluate whether the application is
  consistent with the environmental easement and shall notify the affected
  local government of its determination in a timely  fashion,  considering
  the time frame for the local government's review of the application. The
  affected  local  government  shall  not approve the application until it
  receives approval from the department.
