Penobscot Bay Watch
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. -

Lovett Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Augusta, Maine 04333 Prepared for: Maine Department of Marine Resources and Maine Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Oil and Hazardous Material Control February, 1984 i PREFACE In 1981, a publication entitled Casco Bay Coastal Resource··rnventory (Hutchinson and Ferrero, 1981) reported on the marine wildlife populations in Casco Bay, .Maine, and assessed potential impacts on them resulting from oil spills. The study was funded jointly by the Maine Departments of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IF&W), Marine Resources (DMR), and Environ mental Protection (DEP). The purpose was to develop a basic resource in ventory for use in mitigating the effects of oil spills. Upon completion of that study, Casco Bay became the only section of the Maine Coast, and probably the only substantial section of the entire Atlantic Coast, for which exists a complete, seasonal inventory and cataloging of its wildlife populations and habitats. -

Cover photograph: Upright folds in metamorphic rocks of the Bucksport Formation at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. The spectacular exposures here reveal many such structural features to the careful observer. This photograph looks directly along the crest of a fold, with layering on the left tilting to the left and layering on the right tilting to the right. In the middle distance the form of the fold is clearly visible. On the skyline to the right is a large ridge underlain with white pegmatite, a very coarse-grained, igneous rock that intrudes the metamorphic rock.

Potential for Wind Energy Development on New England Islands
Potential for Wind Energy Development on New England Islands Final Report A report prepared by the Renewable Energy Research Laboratory Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Massachusetts at Amherst Amherst, MA 01003 James F. Manwell Jon G. McGowan Anthony Rogers Gabriel Blanco Mohit Dua May 2003 Potential for Wind Energy Development on New England Islands Final Report In July 2001, the Renewable Energy Research Laboratory (RERL) of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, was assigned to carry out a feasibility study on the potential for wind energy development on the New England islands by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Region I. According to the proposal submitted to DOE, the study would include an inventory of the New England islands, categorization of the islands according to certain criteria, an overview of the current energy supply situation on some of the energy demanding islands, a proposal for plausible power system designs for selected islands with an estimation of performance and economic merits of those systems and an assessment of the concerns that are likely to be raised by the inhabitants or those responsible for the selected island to wind energy. This is the final version of the draft report submitted in January 2002. ii Table of Content 1. Introduction 1 2.
