  • 2020 Miscellaneous Rule Revisions and New Marijuana Standards
    MAINE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION AND FORESTRY MAINE LAND USE PLANNING COMMISSION CHAPTER 10, LAND USE DISTRICTS AND STANDARDS Adopted Rule Revisions: 2020 Miscellaneous Rule Revisions and New Marijuana Standards July 15, 2020 The following amendments propose changes to Chapter 10, Land Use Districts and Standards for Areas Served by the Maine Land Use Planning Commission. This document only includes relevant sections of Chapter 10. Revisions in Sections 10.21,I Planned Recreation Facility Development Subdistrict; 10.26,D, Minimum Setbacks; 10.27,G Recreational Gold Prospecting; and 10.27,S Commercial Businesses propose to repeal and replace the existing rule language in its entirety. Therefore, the revisions are not shown in strikeout and underline format. However, in some cases, sections intended to be repealed and replaced, the revisions are illustrated only to facilitate public review. Otherwise, proposed changes to other sections of Chapter 10 are shown in strikeout and underline format with additions in underlined text, deletions as strikethroughs, and relocations as double underline and double strikethroughs. Many of the proposed revisions can be described as clerical corrections and generally include: factual corrections; improving the structure of citations or the consistency of use listings; and simple clarifications that do not change the meaning of the applicable standard. Of the substantive revisions, many are self-explanatory. Where necessary, further explanations of some changes have been included in [brackets]. These explanatory notes will not be included in the final rule. A generalized summary of the revisions is provided on the next page. 01-672 CHAPTER 10 10.02 Generalized Summary of Proposed Revisions by Topic Marijuana: The proposed revisions include standards to address odors produced by indoor and outdoor growing operations; protect against light pollution from the lighting within greenhouses; and address now conflicting restrictions for signs advertising activities that are illegal under state or federal laws or regulations.

  • Stillwater Recertification Attachments 2015
    Stillwater Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2712) Project Description Black Bear Hydro Partners, LLC’s Stillwater Hydroelectric Project is a run-of-river hydroelectric generating facility located on the Stillwater Branch of the Penobscot River in Old Town, Maine with a gross nameplate generating capacity of 4.18 MW. The Stillwater Project Powerhouse A commenced initial commercial operations in 1913. The Licensee applied for an amendment to increase capacity at the Stillwater Project via the construction of an additional powerhouse (Powerhouse B). The Project consists of an existing 1,720-foot-long dam consisting of 13 sections of various height, creating an impoundment with a normal full pond elevation of 94.65 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. The Project has two powerhouses. Powerhouse A consists of four generating units a total installed capacity of 1,950 kW and a maximum hydraulic capacity of 1,700 cfs. Powerhouse B consists of three generating units with a total installed capacity of 2,229 kW and a maximum hydraulic capacity of 1,758 cfs. Powerhouse A has 50 ft long aerial transmission lines installed from the powerhouse’s GSU to the existing substation. Powerhouse B has 300 ft long aerial transmission lines installed from the powerhouse’s generating step-up unit (GSU) to the existing, adjacent 12.5 kV distribution system located adjacent to the existing project boundary and along the south side of Stillwater Avenue. The Stillwater Powerhouse B commenced initial commercial operation September, 2013. The Stillwater Project generates clean, renewable electricity while providing recreational opportunities (portage trail, parking areas for river access and hand-carried boat launch), fish passage measures, consistent water levels that enhance habitats for waterfowl, etc., and substantial support of the local community through stable property tax payments, reliable voltage support of the electrical distribution system, etc.

By CHARLES E . HAMLIN. Reprinted from the Appalachia, December, 1881. with regards of C. E. Hamlin [Reprinted from the Appalachia, Vol, II., No, 4.] Routes to Ktaadn. By Charles E. Hamlin. Communicated Oct. 20, 1881. Mt. Ktaadn is so inaccessible that practically it is remote even to New Englanders. It is probably true that a greater number of eastern men now annually visit Pike’s Peak than penetrate to the Maine mountain, and a hundred Bostonians have been among the Alps for one who has climbed Ktaadn. Of the few who have published narratives of their excursions to this unique mountain, some have presented more or less definite accounts of the routes by which they reached it. Thus the delightful article of Thoreau, entitled “ Ktaadn,” is mainly a circumstantial description of his journey thither, rather than of the mountain itself, of which, since it was capped with clouds during his ascent, he neither reached the summit nor saw the most noteworthy features. But as the reading of all that has been written relating to Ktaadn would yield distinct information upon only two of the four possible routes to it, it seems desirable to present at one view, and in narrow compass, the leading characteristics of all, — their relative lengths, advantages and disadvantages.

  • Appendices 32 ______
    APPENDIX 11.7: Information from Expert Interviews In September – December, 2003, as part of its ecoregional planning process, TNC organized a series of six meetings of regional experts to discuss the current status and historical aspects of Maine’s aquatic ecosystems. In conjunction with other databases, the information obtained during these meetings is being used to identify streams / rivers and lakes that appear to be of particular interest from the perspective of conservation planning. This Appendix summarizes much of the information obtained during the expert meetings; it also integrates additional information obtained by MABP via interviews with fisheries biologists, including the early phase of an “anecdotal information-capture” project started in 2004 by MDIFW and MABP. It is important to note that this Appendix is not intended as a comprehensive review of aquatic ecosystems in Maine and should be viewed as a supplement to other data presented in this report. Information in this Appendix inevitably reflects the areas of expertise of the individuals participating in the meetings, incorporating much “anecdotal”-type information that is often not adequately captured in traditional databases. The information content also reflects the need to cover large areas of the state in a limited amount of meeting time. Furthermore, the TNC meetings focused on medium-sized stream watersheds, in the range 30 – 1000 sq. miles. Smaller watersheds were not explicitly discussed during the meetings (although it is recognized that these are “embedded” in the larger watersheds). Large river watersheds (>1000 sq. miles) were also excluded from the discussion since these are automatically incorporated into the series of “focus” watersheds developed by TNC.
