    RESOURCE PROTECTION PLAN AND RECREATION MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE LOWER WEST BRANCH OF THE PENOBSCOT RIVER Ripogenus Gorge below McKay Station Effective December 26, 2002 RESOURCE PROTECTION PLAN AND RECREATION MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE LOWER WEST BRANCH OF THE PENOBSCOT RIVER Little Eddy on the Lower West Branch of the Penobscot Originally adopted in 1981; 2002 renewal submitted by Great Northern Paper Company, Great Lakes Hydro America, LLC, Baxter State Park Authority, Chewonki Foundation, and The Nature Conservancy; Adopted December 11, 2002 by the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission Effective December 26, 2002 All photos courtesy of Susan Burns, Land Use Regulation Commission, Maine Department of Conservation Lower West Branch Penobscot Plan December 26, 2002 PREFACE The Penobscot waterway, including portions of the East and West Branches of the Penobscot River and associated lakes, has long been identified as having exceptional recreational value. In the 1970’s, various management schemes were considered to maintain the special character of these areas while allowing continued commercial forestry activities. Federal and State studies undertaken in the late 1970's concluded that the Penobscot was worthy of special protection. In January 1979, the staff of the Land Use Regulation Commission proposed special recreation protection zoning for the corridors of the East and West Branches. Following an extended public hearing on those proposals, Great Northern Paper Company requested that the Commission defer action on the staff proposals. The Commission agreed to give Great Northern the opportunity to voluntarily develop a resource protection plan for the area. The Land Use Regulation Commission's Land Use Districts and Standards provide for a unique alternative to the Commission's customary zones, whereby landowners may propose a resource protection plan for areas such as the East and West Branches of the Penobscot River.
