Here is the IDNR report.

Check out pages 21, 22, 23 - even the DNR sez the amounts are excessive, mostly incomplete applications were made and many were not paid for or accounted for.

Typical.

Although the report's FINDING starts out calling the issuance of permits as excessive, in their response, no where do they imply the excessiveness will be addressed -only that all the "i's" need to be dotted and "t's" need to be crossed.
