Slovinsky Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Beach and Dune Restoration, Scarborough, ME Maine Geological Survey Introduction Western Beach is a small pocket beach between Ferry Rock to the northwest and the Prouts Neck headland to the southeast (Figure 1). It lies on the eastern side of the Scarborough River inlet, across the inlet from Pine Point, and is adjacent to the municipally Ferry Beach owned Ferry Beach. Although Western Beach is privately owned by the Prouts Neck Country Club, it is open to the public and is a popular Ferry Rock destination for sunbathers, fishermen and beach and dog walkers. In a larger context, the Pine Point Scarborough River and Western Beach are located at the northern end of Saco Bay, Maine’s largest expanse (approximately 7 miles) of contiguous beach and dunes in the State.

This application by the Town of Cumberland is for the Payson Pier Replacement Project. The work funded by the grant will include field survey, engineering design, and permitting of a new pier to replace the existing 200’ span timber pier at a large public waterfront site recently acquired by the Town. The existing pier is badly deteriorated, and as a result it is not suitable for public use in it’s present state. The amount of funding requested through the Shore and Harbor Planning Grant program is $20,906. This will be matched by an additional $4,094 from the Town’s Harbor and Waterfront fund to cover the cost of professional services to be provided by a consultant engineering firm and an in-kind contribution of $2,875 for Town oversight and project management for a Total Project cost of $27,875. Bill Shane, PE, is the Town Manager and will function as the Project Manager for this project. The project will be completed in partnership with Baker Design Consultants, a local engineering firm with expertise in design of municipal piers and past experience at this site, and Titcomb Associates, a surveyor who has performed a significant amount of survey of the Payson property in the past years.

  • 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.

  • Historical Sketch of Prouts Neck
    HISTORICAL SKETCH OF PROUT’S NECK ^ H E object in writing the following notes*, is/to bridge over the interval between Mr. Moulton’s history of Prout’s Neck and the present, as during that interval ( 1886 to 1912 ) many of the landmarks have changed, and dear and valued friends have been called to a better world, while their many good deeds, though thoroughly appreciated, unless recorded may soon be forgotten. The first introduction to Prout’s Neck was 1886, twenty- six years ago. We had heard glowing accounts from our friends ( among whom was Mr. Charles Thomas) “ that it was a charming place, beautifully situated, and in every way calculated to satisfy the artist’s eye.” So in the summer of that year we determined to make the venture, and in no way were disappointed. A t that time the Neck was quite primitive, the Checkley was very limited in comparison with what it is at present, and there were only a few cottages to grace the place.
