State environmental regulators issued a “Notice of Violation” against the developer of an ambitious, $1 billion project in Washington County, after inspectors found the company built several dozen cabins, a restaurant, roads and parking areas without obtaining necessary permits. Worcester Holdings was issued the notice in July after an inspection found apparent violations at their Flagpole View Cabins. Worcester officials said they are working with the Department of Environmental Protection to “fully resolve the potential concern.” Worcester agreed to pay a $5,000 civil penalty for the violations in Jonesboro. Paul Gaddis, a licensed forester from East Machias, agreed to pay a $2,500 civil penalty for the violations.
