Maine Lakes Report 2013 Maine Lakes Report 2013 Dear Friends and Stewards of Maine Lakes, This report on the health of Maine lakes reflects the effort of more than 1,000 volunteer citizen scientists throughout Maine who monitored several hundred lake basins throughout the State in 2013. A growing number of VLMP lake monitors have been continuously active for multiple decades, and a few have been involved for most of the 43 years since the Maine Legislature officially authorized volunteer lake monitoring. Their work is a strong testament to the level of public commitment to Maine’s clear, clean lakes, and it is probably not coincidental that our lakes have remained as healthy as they have under the careful watch of these individuals. The Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program (VLMP) is believed to be the longest- standing statewide citizen lake monitoring program in America, having been formed at about the time of the passage of the historic Federal Clean Water Act in 1971. The Mission of the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program is to help protect Maine lakes through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health. The VLMP trains, certifies and provides technical support to hundreds of volunteers who monitor a wide range of indicators of water quality, assess watershed health and function, and screen lakes for invasive aquatic plants and animals. In addition to being the primary source of lake data in the State of Maine, VLMP volunteers benefit their local lakes by playing key stewardship and leadership roles in their communities. Our primary partners are the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency, which provide a wide range of financial, technical and management support to the program. In turn, the VLMP provides these agencies with essential information that is used to assess and protect Maine’s lakes. The relatively small investment of public funding that supports the work of the VLMP is multiplied several times over through the invaluable, high quality work of VLMP volunteers. Studies conducted throughout the country have consistently shown that lake data gathered by properly trained volunteers are equivalent to, and virtually indistinguishable from that of professional lake scientists, at a fraction of the cost! The additional invaluable benefit of public education and stewardship that VLMP volunteers provide to communities throughout the state is one of Maine’s best examples of grassroots natural resource protection. The effectiveness and strength of the VLMP is in part due to collaborative partnerships with other entities, including agencies and Chart from 2012 Florida LakeWatch Study, comparing organizations throughout Maine and the U.S. This collaboration professional and volunteer lake data. has formed a powerful resource for technical expertise, outreach, and access to a great deal of information concerning Maine lakes and their watersheds. Since the earliest days of the program, the VLMP has been at the forefront of gathering lake data in Maine and the U.S. For more than four decades, the total number of active individuals involved in monitoring water quality, and in screening public waters for invasive aquatic species has increased steadily.

Although previous studies have been performed to determine the potential for hydropower development at existing and former dams in Maine, until now no analysis of the raw hydropower potential based on topographic and hydrologic conditions has been available. We feel that this level of analysis is necessary to fill the gap in our knowledge of indigenous hydropower potential.

  • Appendices 32 ______
    APPENDIX 11.7: Information from Expert Interviews In September – December, 2003, as part of its ecoregional planning process, TNC organized a series of six meetings of regional experts to discuss the current status and historical aspects of Maine’s aquatic ecosystems. In conjunction with other databases, the information obtained during these meetings is being used to identify streams / rivers and lakes that appear to be of particular interest from the perspective of conservation planning. This Appendix summarizes much of the information obtained during the expert meetings; it also integrates additional information obtained by MABP via interviews with fisheries biologists, including the early phase of an “anecdotal information-capture” project started in 2004 by MDIFW and MABP. It is important to note that this Appendix is not intended as a comprehensive review of aquatic ecosystems in Maine and should be viewed as a supplement to other data presented in this report. Information in this Appendix inevitably reflects the areas of expertise of the individuals participating in the meetings, incorporating much “anecdotal”-type information that is often not adequately captured in traditional databases. The information content also reflects the need to cover large areas of the state in a limited amount of meeting time. Furthermore, the TNC meetings focused on medium-sized stream watersheds, in the range 30 – 1000 sq. miles. Smaller watersheds were not explicitly discussed during the meetings (although it is recognized that these are “embedded” in the larger watersheds). Large river watersheds (>1000 sq. miles) were also excluded from the discussion since these are automatically incorporated into the series of “focus” watersheds developed by TNC.

A-3 1 Geology of the Lower Paleozoic Rocks in the Boundary Mountain Anticlinorium By David S. Harwood .^John C. Greenland Charles V. Guidotti^ Introduction The Boundary Mountain anticlinorium (Albee, 1961) in northern New Hampshire, west-central Maine, and adjacent Quebec consists of a core of pre-Silurian rocks overlain to the northwest and southeast, respectively, by Silurian and Devonian rocks in the Connecticut Valley- Gaspd synclinorium (Cady, 1960) and the Merrimack synclinorium (Osberg, Moench, and Warner, 1968). This trip will examine the highlights of the stratigraphy, structure, and metamorphism of the rocks in the anti­ clinorium, beginning in the Silurian rocks on its southeast flank near Rangeley, Maine, and proceeding westward across its core to a synclinal inlier of Silurian rocks near Parmachenee Lake (fig.
