What you are describing sounds a lot like the Permit by Rule (PBR) process in Maine. You fill out a one page application, take some pictures, write a narrative, write a check for $55 and send it in, return receipt. If you don't hear back in 14 days, your request is considered granted. There are strict rules and only certain activities that are allowed. I did it so I could hire a crane/barge to move some rocks for navigational purposes and a dock. I've attached a couple of links to the form and the rules if you want to look at it.
