A contractor is filing for bankruptcy amid state and local scrutiny over shoreline work done to a property along Sebago Lake. Town leaders say work was completed at two adjacent properties without any permits. Sebago Lake is the source of drinking water for roughly 16 percent of Maine. The owner of Big Lake Marine, Robert Durant, filed for chapter 13 bankruptcy at the end of November. Durant’s company could face financial penalties for the alleged violations. A civil case related to this issue is still making its way through the court system. An enforcement case with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection involving Durant’s company is also ongoing.
