Birding the Coastal Corridor BELFAST BIRDING OASTAL ORRIDOR Don Reimer C C Cloe Chunn • This section of Maine's coast is located within the (West) Penobscot Bay Coastal Subregion (Bennett, 1988), a section of the state's largest watershed. • It is characterized by rocky coastline, forests of transition hardwoods interspersed with white pine and hemlock, island forests of Paul Karner spruce-fir, and cool marine waters. • A difference of 10 feet between high and low tide increases the exposed intertidal zone, adding to the potential diversity of available habitats and birds found here. † LET'S GO BIRDING ¢ • The birds you see will depend greatly on the time of year.

    PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

Eugene Shephard, P.E. Principal Project Manager Associate Engineer US District Court – District of Maine Alternatives Evaluation Report Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the Court) selected Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) to conduct the Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study (Phase III Engineering Study), to identify and evaluate feasible, effective and cost-effective measures to remediate mercury in the Penobscot River Estuary (the Estuary). The geographic area to be addressed within the Phase III Engineering Study is described by the Court as “the region from the site of the former Veazie Dam south to Upper Penobscot Bay, including Mendall Marsh and the Orland River." Beginning in 1967, a chlor-alkali facility located in Orrington, Maine released mercury into the Estuary. Releases of mercury at overall declining concentrations continued throughout facility operation and ceased with facility closure in 2000. In 2002, the Court ordered an independent scientific study, the Penobscot River Mercury Study, to assess the spatial distribution and impact of mercury discharge in the Penobscot River.

    The Archaeology of Merryspring Nature Center: The Asa Hosmer Farm (ME 073.014) and The Lt. Benjamin Burton Militia Encampment (ME 073.015) Part 4 Harbour Mitchell, III November, 2020 This Report In light of the overall amount of information gathered in two years of testing, and in an effort to make it as reader-friendly as possible, this report is comprised of five parts, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, each being a separate volume. Each part represents a stand-alone section of the whole, with its own Table of Contents, Table of Figures, and Introduction. Part 1 includes: Executive Summary; Acknowledgements; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; Introduction; Geographical and Geological Context; Historic Background; Historic Ownership of Lot 71; and Regional Archaeological Context. Part 2 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figure; Introduction; Archaeological Rationale, Context, and Protocol . Part 3 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; Introduction; Soil Stratigraphy; Archaeological Stratigraphy; Features; Cultural Materials. Part 4 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; Introduction; Cultural Material Spatial Distribution; Conclusions; and References Cited. Part 5 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; and Appendices A-D. In its content, this report is primarily a descriptive effort – the what, where, and when of two years of archaeological testing. That said, given 1) an “umbilical” relationship between ME 073.015, ME 073.014, and the long forgotten trans- regional Warren Road, and 2) an identical relationship between the Warren Road and the Thorndike-Conway House (ME 373.017), and all of their temporal interconnectedness, it is near impossible to avoid introducing some interpretation, at least as it relates to site location and relationships.

Lighthouses on the Coast of Maine Sixty-seven lighthouses still perch high on the rocky cliffs of Maine. Some of these lighthouses were built more than two hundred years ago to help sailors navigate their way through storms, fog, and dark of night. These beacons saved wooden merchant vessels sailing dangerous courses through narrow and shallow channels filled with countless hazards. Maine’s lighthouses were a part of our country’s history at a time when we were defending our shores, as far back as the Revolutionary war. Some were damaged by war and many were destroyed by the violence of nature. Light keepers risked their own lives to keep their lamps burning. A proud and dramatic beauty can be seen in these structures and their rugged environments–the reason I recently returned to Maine for another photo exploration.

  • Sears Island: Options for the Future
    Sears Island OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE Sears Island OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE An Economically Productive & Ecologically Sustainable Vision Acknowledgments Sears Island: Options for the Future has been supported by the following col- laborating groups: Coastal Mountains Land Trust, Friends of Midcoast Maine, Friends of Sears Island, Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club, Maine SeaGrant, Islesboro Islands Trust, the Penobscot Bay Alliance and Protect Sears Island. Many private citizens from the Penobscot Bay region partici- pated in numerous planning and visioning sessions. The first section of this report was prepared by Terrence J. DeWan of Terrence J. DeWan & Associates (TJD&A), a landscape architecture and planning firm in Yarmouth, Maine. The maps of the three options for Sears Island and many of the photographs were provided by TJD&A. The economic analysis section was written by Charles Lawton of Plan- ning Decisions, Inc., a multipurpose planning company in South Portland, Maine. This economic analysis was peer-reviewed by Professor David Vail, Bowdoin economics department, and Catherine J. Reilly, State Economist, Maine State Planning Office. Other photographs of Sears Island used throughout the report were taken by Kevin Shields of Rockport, Maine. The layout was created by Headwaters Writing & Design in Camden; Camden Printing printed the publication on recycled, totally chlorine-free paper. We also thank the thousands of Maine people who have expressed their hopes and concerns for Sears Island during the past forty years, and who became engaged in charting its future. The discussions and debates that ensued over the period have shaped a future for this island that is both economic and ecologic.

    BALD EAGLE MANAGEMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 2004 - 2019 Adopted by MDIFW Commissioner and Advisory Council September 23, 2004 Population Goal Increase the population and expand the range of breeding bald eagles in Maine. Population Objective: By 2019, increase the bald eagle population to at least 600 nesting pairs, and allow the population to naturally expand statewide. Productivity Objective: Maintain a statewide minimum productivity of 9 fledged eaglets per 10 occupied breeding areas through 2019. Habitat Goal Identify, maintain, and enhance bald eagle breeding, foraging, and wintering habitat to allow for future expansion of the bald eagle population in Maine. Habitat Objective 1: By 2019, ensure long-term protection of viable bald eagle nesting habitat through fee ownership, easements, and landowner agreements for a minimum of 300 nest sites, proportionately distributed throughout occupied range. Habitat Objective 2: By 2019, promote private stewardship of 300 additional viable bald eagle nest sites through landowner agreements, outreach, tax credits, or other means. Habitat Objective 3: By 2008, determine the amount and distribution of shoreline habitat that is currently protected for feeding, wintering, and future nesting sites for bald eagles, and determine the amount of additional shoreline that needs to be protected to ensure the viability of 600 nesting pairs of eagles in Maine. Recovery Safeguard Goal Safeguard recovery of Maine’s bald eagle population through outreach and education and through establishing de-listing and re-listing strategies. Outreach Objective: By 2006, develop, and begin implementing, an outreach program that increases the understanding and appreciation of bald eagles and their habitat requirements in Maine, and increases awareness of human- related activities that result in bald eagle deaths, injuries, reproductive failures, etc.
