Over 120 estuaries are included (Appendix 3), representing over 90 percent of the estuarine surface water and freshwater inflow to the coastal regions of the contiguous United States. Each estuary is defined spatially by an estuarine drainage area (EDA)—the land and water area of a watershed that directly affects the estuary. The EDAs provide a framework for organizing information and for conducting analyses between and among systems. To date, ORCA has compiled a broad base of descriptive and analytical information for the NEI. Descriptive topics include physical and hydrologic characteristics, distribution and abundance of selected fishes and inver- tebrates, trends in human population, building permits, coastal recreation, coastal wetlands, classified shellfish growing waters, organic and inorganic pollutants in fish tissues and sediments, point and nonpoint pollution for selected parameters, and pesticide use. Analytical topics include relative susceptibility to nutrient discharges, structure and variability of salinity, habitat suitability modeling, and socioeconomic assessments. For a list of publications or more information about the NEI, contact C. John Klein, Chief, Physical Environ- ments Characterization Branch, at the address below.

His understanding of ecological processes was unrivaled, and his contributions to this document were tremendous. Since his passing preceded the publication of this Status Review, he was not able to see the completion of this project. We would also like to acknowledge Jerry Marancik’s early contributions to this project. He was a BRT member until he retired in the spring of 2004. At that time, Scott Craig assumed Jerry Marancik’s role on the BRT. We would also like to acknowledge the many people who contributed to the completion of this document. Primarily, the work of previous Atlantic Salmon BRTs helped form the basis of this document. Previous BRT members include M. Colligan, J. Kocik, D. Kimball, J. Marancik, J. McKeon, P. Nickerson, and D. Beach. Many other individuals contributed helpful comments, ideas, and work products including D. Belden, E. Cushing, R. Dill, N. Dube, M. Hachey, C. Holbrook, D. Kusnierz, P.

Executive Summary This Maine Statewide Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution report has been developed to address water quality impairments in 21 rural/suburban streams in Maine that are affected by nonpoint source (NPS) runoff. This report is issued to satisfy Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act and 40 CFR § 130.7 that require states to establish the total maximum daily load of pollutants for those impaired waters. These waterbodies were listed as impaired in Maine’s 2012 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report and have been assessed as not meeting the criteria in Maine's water quality standards (WQS) for aquatic life protection. The TMDL is an assessment of the maximum loading that a waterbody can receive without exceeding its WQS. NPS pollution, which includes stormwater runoff, cannot readily be traced back to a specific source within a watershed. One of the major constituents of NPS pollution is sediment, which contains nutrients that stimulate algal growth.

    12 Rivers Initiative: a Regional Conservation Plan

    12 Rivers Conservation Initiative A Regional Conservation Plan The 12 Rivers Conservation Initiative is a regional conservation planning effort of ten land trusts1 whose service areas include the watersheds of the coastal rivers that flow into the Gulf of Maine between the Kennebec and the Saint George rivers. The total project area encompasses about 825,000 acres. This Plan identifies important natural resource areas and themes for protection (e.g. connectivity, working landscapes) that provide the regional focus for the Initiative, as well as the selection of nine (9) focus areas. The Initiative hired Janet McMahon, a conservation biologist consultant who completed the following tasks: 1. Worked with Paul Hoffman(SVCA) to prepare the following draft base maps: a. Topography and hydrography (including watershed boundaries of lakes and first-order streams) b. Conserved properties and land trust focus areas c. Habitat (significant habitats, Rare, Threatened & Endangered species occurrences; exemplary communities) d. Undeveloped habitat blocks (1,000 acres and larger) 2. Reviewed The Nature Conservancy Maine Aquatics Database to identify portfolio lakes and streams. 3. Met with Dan Coker (TNC) to review results of Habitat Connectivity Modeling Project which identified potential connectors between undeveloped habitat blocks. 4. Reviewed base maps, aerial photographs, and connectivity study data to determine potential linkages between focus areas and habitat blocks. Key Findings and Observations These findings are based on the review of the natural resources in the region from a landscape perspective. The protection of headwater first and second order streams and their watersheds is a high priority because headwaters have a disproportionately important impact on overall river water quality.
