  • KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds
    FALL/ WINTER 2015 THE NEWSLETTER OF MAINE RIVERS KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds Walking thigh-deep into a cold stream in January in Maine? The idea takes a little getting used to, but Paul Christman doesn’t have a hard time finding volunteers to do just that to help with salmon egg planting. Christman is a scientist with Maine Department of Marine Resource. His work, patterned on similar efforts in Alaska, involves taking fertilized salmon eggs from a hatchery and planting them directly into the cold gravel of the best stream habitat throughout the Sandy River, a Kennebec tributary northwest of Waterville. Yes, egg planting takes place in the winter. For Maine Rivers board member Sam Day plants salmon eggs in a tributary of the Sandy River more than a decade Paul has brought staff and water, Paul and crews mimic what female salmon volunteers out on snowshoes and ATVs, and with do: Create a nest or “redd” in the gravel of a river waders and neoprene gloves for this remarkable or stream where she plants her eggs in the fall, undertaking. Finding stretches of open stream continued on page 2 PROGRESS TO UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF THE ST. JOHN RIVER The waters of the St. John River flow from their headwaters in Maine to the Bay of Fundy, and for many miles serve as the boundary between Maine and Quebec. Waters of the St. John also flow over the Mactaquac Dam, erected in 1968, which currently produces a substantial amount of power for New Brunswick. Efforts are underway now to evaluate the future of the Mactaquac Dam because its mechanical structure is expected to reach the end of its service life by 2030 due to problems with the concrete portions of the dam’s station.

  • Lidar and Other Evidence for the Southwest Continuation and Late Quaternary Reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a Cr
    LIDAR and other evidence for the southwest continuation and Late Quaternary reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a cross-cutting structure near Biddeford, Maine, USA Ronald T . Marple1 and James D. Hurd, Jr .2 1. 403 Wickersham Avenue, Fort Benning, Georgia 31905, USA 2. Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, The University of Connecticut, 1376 Storrs Road, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4087, USA Corresponding author <[email protected]> Date received: 14 April 2019 ¶ Date accepted: 01 September 2019 ABSTRACT High-resolution LiDAR (light detection and ranging) images reveal numerous NE-SW-trending geomorphic lineaments that may represent the southwest continuation of the Norumbega fault system (NFS) along a broad, 30- to 50-km-wide zone of brittle faults that continues at least 100 km across southern Maine and southeastern New Hampshire. These lineaments are characterized by linear depressions and valleys, linear drainage patterns, abrupt bends in rivers, and linear scarps. The Nonesuch River, South Portland, and Mackworth faults of the NFS appear to continue up to 100 km southwest of the Saco River along prominent but discontinuous LiDAR lineaments. Southeast-facing scarps that cross drumlins along some of the lineaments in southern Maine suggest that late Quaternary displacements have occurred along these lineaments. Several NW-SE-trending geomorphic features and geophysical lineaments near Biddeford, Maine, may represent a 30-km-long, NW-SE-trending structure that crosses part of the NFS. Brittle NW- SE-trending, pre-Triassic faults in the Kittery Formation at Biddeford Pool, Maine, support this hypothesis. RÉSUMÉ Des images haute résolution prises par LiDAR (détection et télémétrie par ondes lumineuses) dévoilent de nombreux linéaments orientés du NE vers le SO qui pourraient représenter la continuité au sud-ouest du système de failles de Norumbega (SFN) le long d’une vaste zone de 30 à 50 km de largeur de failles cassantes qui se poursuit sur au moins 100 km à travers le sud du Maine et le sud-est du New Hampshire.

  • On-Going Construction in 2013 & Projects That Will Carry Forward
    Maine Turnpike Authority DRAFT-As of May 8th, 2013 Greater Portland Area Major Maintenance & Capital Improvement Projects for 2013 & 2014 On-Going Construction in 2013 & Projects That Will Carry Forward Hurricane Road Over Piscataqua River Bridge Repair & Hurricane Road Underpass Bridge Repair – 2013: The Hurricane Road Bridges over the Piscataqua River and the mainline will be closed for up to 12 weeks during the summer of 2013 for bridge joint, bridge deck and substructure repairs. Scott Construction of Falmouth, Maine was awarded a $820,000 contract for this work. Blackstrap Rd Bridge Rehabilitation & Falmouth Interchange Exit 52 Bridge – 2013: Blackstrap Road Bridge will be raised and the existing concrete deck will be replaced. The bridge will be closed from June - November 2013. Exit 52 bridge will also be raised and the existing concrete deck will be partially replaced. The bridge and southbound on and off ramps are expected to be closed for a week in May 2013. The off ramp will remain closed until November. Any necessary detours will be coordinated with the City of Falmouth, the City of Portland, and the MaineDOT. CPM Constructors of Freeport, Maine was awarded a $3.5 million contract for this work. Presumpscot River Bridge Rehabilitation – 2013 (Continued): The bridges over the Presumpscot River on the Falmouth Spur are being rehabilitated with a new concrete deck and other superstructure and substructure repairs. This 18 month project, which began in 2012, will have the Falmouth Spur down to one lane in both directions through fall 2013, though impacts to traffic should be minimal. In 2012, Lane Construction of Bangor, Maine was awarded the $3.2 million contract for this work.
