Mainedot Work Plan Calendar Years 2019-2020-2021 MaineDOT Work Plan Calendar Years 2019-2020-2021 February 2019 February 21, 2019 MaineDOT Customers and Partners: On behalf of the 2,000 valued employees of the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), I am privileged to present this 2019 Edition of our Work Plan for the three Calendar Years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Implementation of this plan allows us to achieve our mission of responsibly providing our customers with the safest and most reliable transportation system possible, given available resources. Like all recent editions, this Work Plan includes all capital projects and programs, maintenance and operations activities, planning initiatives, and administrative functions. This plan contains 2,193 individual work items with a total value of $2.44 billion, consisting principally of work to be delivered or coordinated through MaineDOT, but also including funding and work delivered by other transportation agencies that receive federal funds directly including airports and transit agencies. Although I have the pleasure of presenting this plan, it is really the product of staff efforts dating back to the summer of last year. Like all Work Plans, that process included making adjustments to projects that had already appeared in prior Work Plans, including changes to cost, schedule, scope, or available funding. Once those projects are made viable for delivery, new projects and work items are added - principally in the third year of the plan - which in this case is Calendar Year 2021. As determined during this months-long process, this Work Plan reflects three focus areas: safety, innovation, and downtown improvements. First and foremost, safety continues to be the top priority in all MaineDOT activities. Safety performance on the transportation system across the United States has been trending in the wrong direction in recent years, with vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities increasing with the continued growth in vehicle miles traveled. To combat this trend, a new Office of Safety was created to conduct data- driven, system-wide safety analysis of our highway network to identify problem areas and develop solutions to eliminate safety hazards. The results of that analysis imbedded within the Work Plan including continued addition of rumble strips to combat lane departure, targeted outreach to communities that have experienced clusters of pedestrian crashes, upgrades to guardrail systems, spot improvements to troublesome intersections and areas identified through data collection and analysis as having a high risk of vehicles going off the road, and work on I-295 north of Portland, where crash incidence is high, including improvement projects and safety patrols. Second, innovation is not only important, but is required to help meet the needs and demands of the system and its modern-day users. MaineDOT is investing in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) including technology to identify and communicate information to travelers relating traffic delays due from, construction, congestion, crashes, and poor road conditions due to weather. These efforts include improved changeable message signs, Amber alerts, and preparing for integration of connected or autonomous vehicles. Finally, this Work Plan makes targeted investments in downtowns around the state. The communities of Hallowell, Bar Harbor, and Ogunquit have recently undergone downtown reconstructions, while improvements in Fryeburg, Woodstock and Kingfield are funded in this Work Plan, with the help of partial funding from a recent federal BUILD grant award. In addition, MaineDOT and our partners are also investing in Active Transportation, recreational trails, improved access to schools and ADA sidewalk improvements, much of it in our downtown areas. As we transition to future Work Plans, I look forward to working with the policy makers, transportation agency partners, and industry to take a fresh look at priorities and service levels and establish updated transportation policy goals. These goals might include raising the bar to improve the system, not just treading water; maintaining Maine’s brand of safe and easy travel, which will help recruitment of new workers; minimizing the financial burden on Mainers; reducing transportation’s impact on climate; and increasing predictable, sustainable funding sources, which would allow a gradual reduction in the dependence on bonding over time. I am truly honored to be part of MaineDOT again. I am confident that we will deliver the work for our customers on time and within our means. Although we work in obscurity much of the time, there are few other teams who do so much to improve the safety, economic prosperity, and quality of life for people who live, work, and travel in our great state. Please use the Work Plan to learn what MaineDOT is doing in your community and your region. As always, I invite you to let me know what we can do to better serve you, our customers, now and into the future. Respectfully, Bruce A.

  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

    +PC * S NATIONU SCIENCE FOUNDATION OFFICEOFFICE OF OF INSPECTOR INVESTIGATIONS GENERAL z4 .q$$@!0 CLOSEOUT MEMORANDUM D~~~~ \o Case Number: A04120071 Page 1 of 1 In connection with a proactive review, we reviewed an awardee's ' General Ledger. This review revealed that the awardee had spent the last $32,000 of NSF funds on post-award expenditures. Further iilvestigation revealed that the PI had requested an extension of tiine to complete work beyond the award's expiration, but NSF denied this request. In addition, investigation revealed that despite NSF's denial of the second-no-cost extension, the PI engineered the draw down of the $32,000 by falsely characteriziilg the draw down as a reimbursement. However, the ~najorityof the funds, approxi~nately$27,000, were used to fund newly incurred, ongoing, post-award expenses. Thereafter, the awardee filed a false final Federal Cash Transaction Report certifying that all award funds had been spent. Then, the PI filed a Final Report that falsely represented that all work on the award was complete. When asked about this by OIG investigators, the PI said she didn't know the second no-cost extension had been denied by NSF. The weight of the evidence refuted this assertion. Without adinitting liability, the awardee settled a civil false claims case with the Department of Justice for $52,150 and agreed to enter into a self-governance programdesigned to ensure that it will operate with honestly and integrity and in compliance with applicable law. In a separate and unrelated ad~ni~listrativeaction, the PI was debarred by NSF for 5 years.
