    LIDAR and other evidence for the southwest continuation and Late Quaternary reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a cross-cutting structure near Biddeford, Maine, USA Ronald T .

Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, The University of Connecticut, 1376 Storrs Road, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4087, USA Corresponding author <[email protected]> Date received: 14 April 2019 ¶ Date accepted: 01 September 2019 ABSTRACT High-resolution LiDAR (light detection and ranging) images reveal numerous NE-SW-trending geomorphic lineaments that may represent the southwest continuation of the Norumbega fault system (NFS) along a broad, 30- to 50-km-wide zone of brittle faults that continues at least 100 km across southern Maine and southeastern New Hampshire. These lineaments are characterized by linear depressions and valleys, linear drainage patterns, abrupt bends in rivers, and linear scarps. The Nonesuch River, South Portland, and Mackworth faults of the NFS appear to continue up to 100 km southwest of the Saco River along prominent but discontinuous LiDAR lineaments. Southeast-facing scarps that cross drumlins along some of the lineaments in southern Maine suggest that late Quaternary displacements have occurred along these lineaments. Several NW-SE-trending geomorphic features and geophysical lineaments near Biddeford, Maine, may represent a 30-km-long, NW-SE-trending structure that crosses part of the NFS. Brittle NW- SE-trending, pre-Triassic faults in the Kittery Formation at Biddeford Pool, Maine, support this hypothesis. RÉSUMÉ Des images haute résolution prises par LiDAR (détection et télémétrie par ondes lumineuses) dévoilent de nombreux linéaments orientés du NE vers le SO qui pourraient représenter la continuité au sud-ouest du système de failles de Norumbega (SFN) le long d’une vaste zone de 30 à 50 km de largeur de failles cassantes qui se poursuit sur au moins 100 km à travers le sud du Maine et le sud-est du New Hampshire.

    Maine Turnpike Authority DRAFT-As of May 8th, 2013 Greater Portland Area Major Maintenance & Capital Improvement Projects for 2013 & 2014 On-Going Construction in 2013 & Projects That Will Carry Forward Hurricane Road Over Piscataqua River Bridge Repair & Hurricane Road Underpass Bridge Repair – 2013: The Hurricane Road Bridges over the Piscataqua River and the mainline will be closed for up to 12 weeks during the summer of 2013 for bridge joint, bridge deck and substructure repairs. Scott Construction of Falmouth, Maine was awarded a $820,000 contract for this work. Blackstrap Rd Bridge Rehabilitation & Falmouth Interchange Exit 52 Bridge – 2013: Blackstrap Road Bridge will be raised and the existing concrete deck will be replaced. The bridge will be closed from June - November 2013. Exit 52 bridge will also be raised and the existing concrete deck will be partially replaced. The bridge and southbound on and off ramps are expected to be closed for a week in May 2013. The off ramp will remain closed until November. Any necessary detours will be coordinated with the City of Falmouth, the City of Portland, and the MaineDOT. CPM Constructors of Freeport, Maine was awarded a $3.5 million contract for this work. Presumpscot River Bridge Rehabilitation – 2013 (Continued): The bridges over the Presumpscot River on the Falmouth Spur are being rehabilitated with a new concrete deck and other superstructure and substructure repairs. This 18 month project, which began in 2012, will have the Falmouth Spur down to one lane in both directions through fall 2013, though impacts to traffic should be minimal. In 2012, Lane Construction of Bangor, Maine was awarded the $3.2 million contract for this work.

    “A DOLEFUL SLAUGHTER NEAR BLACK POINT” The Battle at Moore’s Brook, Scarborough, Maine, June 29, 1677 by Sumner Hunnewell (concluded from Vol.25, p. 72) THE TWOFOLD MISSION OF THE ENGLISH The initial objective of the government of Massachusetts was a military one. Massachusetts’s hope was that it could get help from the other United Colonies, Plymouth and Connecticut. The Great Swamp Fight proved how the concerted efforts of these colonies could work well to their benefit. In December 1675, a com- bined army of over one thousand men and Indians of the United Colonies marched and took the Narragansett swamp fort, turning the tide of the war. Therefore, on the first of June 1677 it was decided by the Council sitting in Boston to solicit the help of her sister colonies to once again answer the constant attacks now hap- pening at the Eastward. The Massachusetts Council hoped to raise 200 Indians and less than 100 English for the venture, using the agreed-upon quotas filled by all three colonies. However, there would be no help from the other colonies. Massa- chusetts would have to fight alone. The number of men raised was around 120. The number of English gathered far outnumbered the friendly Indians in this army.64 The deployment of the forces would be approached in two ways. Richardson would take his men to range the woods between the Merrimack and Piscataqua Rivers. To encourage his men, they were to be allowed 20 shillings for every enemy scalp and twice that for any prisoners taken.

  • NOTICE to FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY USERS Communities Participating in the National Flood Insurance Program Have Established Reposit
    NOTICE TO FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY USERS Communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program have established repositories of flood hazard data for floodplain management and flood insurance purposes. This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) may not contain all data available within the repository. It is advisable to contact the community repository for any additional data. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may revise and republish part or all of this Preliminary FIS report at any time. In addition, FEMA may revise part of this FIS report by the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS report. Therefore, users should consult community officials and check the Community Map Repository to obtain the most current FIS components. Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for this community contain the most current information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways and cross sections). In addition, former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows. Old Zone(s) New Zone A1 through A30 AE B X (shaded) C X Initial Countywide FIS Effective Date: FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY CUMBERLAND COUNTY, MAINE (ALL JURISDICTIONS) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of Study This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) revises and updates information on the existence and severity of flood hazards in the geographic area of Cumberland County, including the Cities of Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, and the Towns of Baldwin, Bridgton, Brunswick, Cape Elizabeth, Casco, Chebeague Island, Cumberland, Falmouth, Freeport, Frye Island, Gorham, Gray, Harpswell, Harrison, Long Island, Naples, New Gloucester, North Yarmouth, Pownal, Raymond, Scarborough, Sebago, Standish, Windham, and Yarmouth (referred to collectively herein as Cumberland County), and aids in the administration of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
