  • Introduction
    Breaching of the Edwards Dam, July 1, 1999 The Kennebec River is the third largest river in Maine consolidating the flows from many large lakes in north-central Maine, then flowing south through agricultural areas and small towns and cities of the central part of the state to merge with the Androscoggin River at Merrymeeting Bay. Introduction Geography The Kennebec River originates at Moosehead Lake flowing 145 miles to Merrymeeting Bay where it joins the Androscoggin River, then to the Atlantic Ocean at Phippsburg and Georgetown. The upper Kennebec flows from Moosehead Lake about 4 miles before reaching Indian Pond, the first of many impoundments. Flowing out of Indian Pond through Harris Dam, a major hydroelectric station, its passes through the Kennebec gorge then runs south draining into Wyman Lake, and through Wyman Dam, another large hydroelectric impoundment. From there it passes through urban and industrial areas of Madison, Skowhegan, Waterville-Winslow, and, with the Biomonitoring Retrospective 78 Maine DEPLW1999-26 Dec. 1999 removal of the Edwards Dam in Augusta in July, 1999, the Kennebec head of tide now occurs between Augusta and Sidney. The river eventually empties into Merrymeeting Bay in Richmond. Six major tributaries enter the river: the Moose River is the major tributary of Moosehead Lake, Dead River, Sandy River, Sebasticook River, Messalonskee Stream and Cobbosseecontee Stream. The basin covers approximately 5,893 square miles with approximately 3,850 miles of rivers and streams. Basin Summary Statistics Biomonitoring

  • Deglaciation of the Upper Androscoggin River Valley and Northeastern White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 6 1989 Deglaciation of the Upper Androscoggin River Valley and Northeastern White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey State House Station 22 Augusta, Maine 04333 Brian K. Fowler Dunn Geoscience Corporation P.O. Box 7078, Village West Laconia, New Hampshire 03246 ABSTRACT The mode of deglaciation of the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire and adjacent Maine has been a controversial topic since the late 1800's. Recent workers have generally favored regional stagnation and down wastage as the principal means by which the late Wisconsinan ice sheet disappeared from this area. However, the results of the present investigation show that active ice persisted in the upper Androscoggin River valley during late-glacial time. An ice stream flowed eastward along the narrow part of the Androscoggin Valley between the Carter and Mahoosuc Ranges, and deposited a cluster of end-moraine ridges in the vicinity of the Maine-New Hampshire border. We have named these deposits the" Androscoggin Moraine." This moraine system includes several ridges originally described by G. H. Stone in 1880, as well as other moraine segments discovered during our field work. The ridges are bouldery, sharp-crested, and up to 30 m high. They are composed of glacial diamictons, including flowtills, with interbedded silt, sand, and gravel. Stone counts show that most of the rock debris comprising the Androscoggin Moraine was derived locally, although differences in provenance may exist between moraine segments on opposite sides of the valley. Meltwater channels and deposits of ice-contact stratified drift indicate that the margin of the last ice sheet receded northwestward.

  • The Design and Operation of a Picket Weir to Sample Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon in Tributaries to Moosehead Lake
    Fisheries Division Report Series No. 18-2 The Design and Operation of a Picket Weir to Sample Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon in Tributaries to Moosehead Lake Progress Report No. 1 By: Timothy Obrey and Jeffery Bagley Moosehead Lake Region July 2018 Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Fisheries and Hatcheries Division 1 Summary A picket weir was designed and fabricated for sampling wild Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon on their spawning migrations in tributaries to Moosehead Lake. The weir was installed on Socatean Stream in 2009 then on the Roach River in 2010 and 2011. Staff utilized radio telemetry and Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags to monitor movements and estimate mortality. A total of 132 fish were equipped with radio telemetry transmitters and 872 fish were implanted with PIT tags during the three years of sampling. Post-spawning mortality rates for wild male Brook Trout ranged from 44-63% during the study. Sixteen to twenty-five percent of surviving Brook Trout returned to spawn in a second consecutive year, while less than 3% of the Landlocked Salmon returned to the Roach River. The winter sanctuary areas established in the 1930s, 1950s, and 1960s to protect wild Brook Trout are still effective. Many of the tagged Brook Trout utilized these areas during the winter months and were therefore unavailable for angler harvest. The weir will be a valuable tool for fisheries managers in the Moosehead Lake Region and other areas of the state in future fisheries studies.

  • 4.0 Kennebec River Basin
    4.0 Kennebec River Basin 4.1 Watershed Description The Kennebec River Basin occupies approximately 5,900 square miles of southwestern Maine. The headwaters of the river basin originate in the Appalachian Mountains on the international border with Canada. The upper two-thirds of the basin above Waterville are hilly and mountainous and the lower third of the basin has the gentle topography representative of a coastal drainage area. Major communities in this basin include Bingham, Anson, Madison, Norridgewock, Skowhegan, Waterville, Winslow, Augusta, Hallowell, and Gardiner. The Kennebec River originates at Moosehead Lake and flows south approximately 145 miles to Merrymeeting Bay. Table 27 presents the major tributaries to the Kennebec River along with their respective contributing area. The Kennebec River joins the Androscoggin River in Merrymeeting Bay before exiting to the ocean at Fort Popham. The Kennebec River is influenced by tidal process as far as Augusta, 25 miles above Abagadassett Point. Figure 10 illustrates the locations of major tributaries located within the Kennebec River basin. 4-1 October 2007 C:\Documents and Settings\swiding\Desktop\Maine River Basin Report _Final4.doc Table 27.
