CLAYTOR HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT FISH ENTRAINMENT AND IMPINGEMENT ASSESSMENT

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the potential for fish entrainment and impingement at the Claytor Hydroelectric Project (No. 739). Appalachian Power Company (Appalachian) is in the process of relicensing the Project using the Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) as defined by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)

Guidance for Private Property Owners: Steps and Alternatives for Disposal of Material Dredged from River and Harbors of Casco Bay

The overall goal of the project is to help private owners navigate the dredging/disposal process and make informed decisions that are: Cost effective (including all steps of the process); In compliance with regulations; and Geared to specific needs (material volume, sediment type and level of contamination). As part of this objective, we have attempted to do the following: Describe the regulatory process for disposal alternatives (upland, ocean, and others) in simple but accurate terms. Develop a complete list of disposal alternatives. Develop a comprehensive alternatives analysis for possible disposal alternatives and screening process. Develop a resource compendium in an appendix, including resources (websites, reports, contacts, used to develop information)

Expanding and Sustaining the Shellfisheries of Casco Bay 2011

The Casco Bay Plan, published in 1996 through the Casco Bay Estuary Project (CBEP 1996), includes the goal to open and protect clam flats in Casco Bay, in turn contributing to the health of this fishery and to the economic value of this resource. The purpose of this study was to update and expand upon the work completed through the Phase I and Phase II of Expanding and Sustaining the Shellfisheries of Casco Bay (2003) project and to compile a list of recommendations to continue towards the Plan’s goal

Expanding and Sustaining the Shellfisheries of Casco Bay (Fact Sheet)

Maine\u27s natural resources have always been important to its people. Timber, tourism, agriculture and fisheries are hallmarks of the state\u27s economy. The urbanization of southern Maine contributes to the impoverishment, contamination and outright destruction of vital components of Maine\u27s environment

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix E: Aquatic Ecosystem and Fisheries Studies (Supplement)

Sediment mercury concentrations higher than levels normall y considered trace or background were encountered up to 80 cm belo w the sediment-water interface in samples obtained from four oligotrophi c lakes in northern Maine . These lakes are in three different watershed s and are as far as 65 km apart . The values reported are far lower than levels reported elsewhere from contaminated sites . The distributio n and magnitude of the sediment concentrations encountered suggest long-ter m diffuse mercury inputs to the lakes from the watersheds . In addition , concentrations up to twice as high in near-surface sediments as in sediments from deeper within the core samples suggest additiona l cultura l inputs . A likely source woul d incude input from contaminated precipitation , as described for remote regions of NY (11) and NH (12

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix E: Aquatic Ecosystem and Fisheries Studies

Throughout this report, the following naming conventions will be used: the study area is the region of the Saint John River from Fort Kent to Ninemile Bridge and the drainage areas of all Saint John tributaries between Lincoln School and Ninemile Bridge within the United States, excluding the Allagash River drainage; the Dickey Lake Area is that region which would be inundated by the proposed Dickey Dam and the drainage areas of all rivers and streams (excluding the Saint John River) flowing into that proposed reservoir; the Lincoln School Reservoir area is that region which would be inundated by the proposed Lincoln School Dam, and the drainage areas of all tributaries flowing into that reservoir area; the downstream region is that portion of the Saint John River downstream of the proposed Lincoln School Dam to Madawaska
