  • 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.

  • Proposed Criteria for the Determination of BSP Camping Fees
    C:\Users\jensen.bissell\Documents\BSPA\BSP Reports\FeeReview\2016 Review\FEE REVIEW 2016 Final.docx9/6/2016 Protocol for the Review of BSP Camping Fees. Review Date: August 2016 I. Background: BSP operates independently of the General Fund and receives no State revenues for Park operation. Park operations are funded by a combination of revenues from Trust Endowments, fees for the use of camping facilities, revenues from the sale of forest products from the Scientific Forest Management Area, entrance fees charged to non-Maine registered vehicles, sale of bundled firewood for campfires, fees for the use of Park canoes, and a variety of miscellaneous fees including sale of books & maps, fishing licenses. In addition to these sources, the Park receives significant unearned revenue from unsolicited donations. These donations include dedicated revenues (Baxter Wilderness Trust) as well as random donations from individuals. In fiscal year 2015, donations comprised approximately 3.5% of total Park revenue. Considerable attention has been given to specifying policy for the management of Trust Endowments. The resulting spending policy provides guidance regarding the withdrawals from BSP Endowment Funds in order to help insure the protection of the fund principal and the ability of the funds to provide, in perpetuity, a level of revenue equal to or greater than the current level. With the strict definition of endowment spending levels, it is important that interior sources of revenue act as an expandable (and contractible) component of Park revenues

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.
