The importance of the railroad system of Maine, as a means of developing the resources of the State, is becoming more apparent every year. By reason of the facilities it affords, mineral wealth is being uncovered, manufacturers are utiliz­ ing the abundant water powers, and our products are afforded ready markets; and, although in ·obtaining these facilities in some localities, heavy burdens have been assumed by cities and towns, still we think the benefit derived will fully com­ pensate them in the end. We do not, however, wish to be understood as favoring the principle of towns and cities aiding in the construction of railroads. The benefit to be derived by a large portion of the inhabitants of a town, is too remote to justify it in most instances. We again have the pleasure of congratulating the public, and the several railroad corporations operating roads in the State, on the remarkable exemption from any serious casualties during the year.

  • NOTICE to FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY USERS Communities Participating in the National Flood Insurance Program Have Established Reposit
    NOTICE TO FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY USERS Communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program have established repositories of flood hazard data for floodplain management and flood insurance purposes. This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) may not contain all data available within the repository. It is advisable to contact the community repository for any additional data. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may revise and republish part or all of this Preliminary FIS report at any time. In addition, FEMA may revise part of this FIS report by the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS report. Therefore, users should consult community officials and check the Community Map Repository to obtain the most current FIS components. Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for this community contain the most current information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways and cross sections). In addition, former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows. Old Zone(s) New Zone A1 through A30 AE B X (shaded) C X Initial Countywide FIS Effective Date: FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY CUMBERLAND COUNTY, MAINE (ALL JURISDICTIONS) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of Study This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) revises and updates information on the existence and severity of flood hazards in the geographic area of Cumberland County, including the Cities of Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, and the Towns of Baldwin, Bridgton, Brunswick, Cape Elizabeth, Casco, Chebeague Island, Cumberland, Falmouth, Freeport, Frye Island, Gorham, Gray, Harpswell, Harrison, Long Island, Naples, New Gloucester, North Yarmouth, Pownal, Raymond, Scarborough, Sebago, Standish, Windham, and Yarmouth (referred to collectively herein as Cumberland County), and aids in the administration of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

To the Gove1·n01· of the State of iliaine: The Board of Railroad Commissioners respectfully submits this their twenty-ninth annual report. It is with a feeling of gratitude and pleasure that we can note the fact, that, while a series of appalling accidents have oc­ curred on many railroads in other States during the past year, the railroads in Maine have been comparatively free from ac­ cidents of any kind. This result, we believe, is very largely due to the wisdom, care and efficiency of those entrusted with the management of the several· railroads in the State, in the selection of subordinates and cmployes, and in looking care­ fully to the physical condition of their roads, and in the adop­ tion of and adhesion to modern systems of running trains thereon. The reports of the several railroad companies in the State show a most gratifying and, as appears, permanent increase in business both in passenger and freight earnings, notwith­ standing the fact that in the early part of the season many railroads on the seaboard were seriously effected by some of the provis10ns of the :ilnterstate Commerce Law," which pro­ visions, in effect, tended to divert freight traffic from railroads to steam and other vessels, at all competing points.

    Document Accession #: 20140408-3044 Filed Date: 04/08/2014 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION S.D. Warren Company Project No. 2984-042 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (April 8, 2014) In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for new license for the Eel Weir Project, located at the outlet of Sebago Lake on the Presumpscot River, in Cumberland County, Maine, and has prepared a supplemental Environmental Assessment (supplemental EA) for the project. The supplemental EA contains the staff’s analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. A copy of the supplemental EA is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission’s website at http://www.ferc.gov using the “eLibrary” link.
