    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.

  • Website Burnt Island Lighthouse Restoration 2020.Docx
    Restoration Report Burnt Island Light Station Summer 2020 Property Owned by: State of Maine, Department of Marine Resources Project Funded by: Donations to Keepers of the Burnt Island Light Project Managed by: Department of Marine Resources, Bureau of General Services Report Written by: DMR Education Director, Elaine P. Jones Abstract On November 9, 1821, Keeper Joshua B. Cushing lit up the Burnt Island Lighthouse for the very first time. After his tenure, 30 other men followed his footsteps up those winding stairs into the lantern-room to illuminate Boothbay Harbor’s guiding light. This monument of hope and integrity has served mariners for nearly 200 years and its devoted keepers served it in return. However, in 1988 automation took away the last true lighthouse keeper, thus removing the love, attention, and financial backing that went into maintaining a lighthouse, keeper’s dwelling, and outbuildings. Built the year after Maine became a state, the lighthouse’s rubble-stone construction has never been altered making it Maine’s oldest “original” lighthouse. From afar and with a fresh coat of paint each year, the iconic beacon looked pretty good, but under a thick layer of stucco it was a different story. Not only had its 199-year-old mortar crumbled; its lantern-room and spiral stairs had rusted; its interior brick liner needed repairs; and surfaces inside and out needed paint. With its 200th Anniversary just one year away, there was no better time than now to restore the entire Burnt Island Light Station. It was high time to stop the deterioration and take action to preserve what was left and replace what was in disrepair.

  • National Estuary Program Nomination STATE of MAINE OFFICEOF the GOVERNOR AUGUSTA
    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.
