3. the Presence of Freshwater Cord Grass ~S Artina ~Sctinata!
Summary of Significant Features A, Geological 1. Fringing pocket beach with two central beach strea~ outlets non-tidal!. 2. Low sand budget with dramatic summer buildup resulting in a wide berm. 3. Stable shoreline position. 4. The southwestern end is the long-term downdrift end. This is indicated by the width of the back dune, but the beach has finer sand toward the north- east, suggesting short-term downdrift toward the northeast. 5. Good illustration of seasonal accretionary profile. 6. Height of the frontal dune ridge is a function of width of the berm more than a function of the direction it faces. 7. There are no parabolic dunes, but there are good dry dune flats with asso- ciated dune plant species in the back dune. B, Botanical I, The northern coastal range limit of Wormwood Artemisia caudata!. 2. Good Beach Heather Hudsonia tomentosa! patches and associated plants, 3. The presence of Freshwater Cord Grass ~Sartina ~sctinata!. 4. No pitch pines or semi-open community. Not a positive feature.! 5. Good vegetation cover, no foot traffic damage, well managed. C. Size Crescent Beach State Park covers an area of 31 hectares and has a length of 1524 m. Bailey Beach Phi sbur , Sagadahoc Count Description of Geological Features Bailey Beach Figure 27! is a small fringing pocket beach .4 hectares! with a relatively wide back dune area for such a short beach. A large volume of sand has been blown onshore to cover low-lying bedrock upland. Exposure of a coarse cobble/ boulder lag surface at the western end of the beach and the rapid grading to coarse sand beneath the lower beachface suggests that the shoreline has probably never been much further back than today, The sand appears to be locally derived and is not spillover from the Popham-Seawall system. -

What is a Comprehensive Plan Update? So glad you asked! It is the long-range plan that will guide Ogunquit’s future for the next ten years. It is a legal document. The Comprehensive Plan is not itself a regulation; it does not make actual code or zoning changes. Rather, it provides a roadmap for the Town’s future that will recommend and inform regulations and code changes going forward. Many changes for the Town cannot be made unless they have been included in the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan is made up of goals, which are broad, over-arching ideas; policies which are objectives for reaching the goals; and strategies which are specific actions recommended to address the policies. Each strategy is assigned to a responsible party and given a timeline. As this Committee has learned, long-range planning for an entire town is a multi-layered and open- ended process. We have been at this since April of 2016 when we all thought we were in for a one- year term. -

Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine
Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 5 1989 Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine 1 2 Duncan M. FitzGeraui, Jonathan M. Lincoln • 3 1 L. Kenneth Fink, Jr. , and Dabney W. Caldwel/ 1Departm ent of Geology Boston University Boston, Massachusetts 02215 2Department of Geological Sciencies Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois 60201 3Department of Geology University of Maine Orono, Maine 04469 ABSTRACT The occurrence of tidal inlets along the coast of Maine is tied closely to the structural geology and glacial history of this region. Most of the inlets are found along the southern arcuate-embayment shoreline where sand sources, consisting of glaciomarine sediments and other glacial deposits, were sufficient to build swash-aligned barriers between pronounced bedrock headlands. Along the peninsula coast of Maine, tidal inlets also occur at the mouths of the Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers where large quantities of glaciofluvial sands were deposited during deglacia tion. The remainder of the southeastward facing coast was stripped of its preglacial sediment cover by the southerly moving glaciers. The thin tills that were left behind yield little sand and, thus, barriers and inlets are generally absent. Small to large-sized inlets (width= 50-200 m) in Maine are anchored next to bedrock outcrops and are bordered on their opposite sides by sandy spits. Despite the ubiquitous name "river inlet," they normally have little fresh water discharge compared to their salt water tidal prisms. The backbarriers of these inlets are expansive and would produce relatively large tidal prisms if high Spartina marshes had not filled most of the region, leaving little open water area.
