ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to thank Dr. Ivan McDaniel for his involvement in the USDA-funding of this project. We thank him for his assistance at the beginning of this project in loaning us literature, equipment, and giving us pointers on taxonomy. He also aided the second author on a number of collection trips and identified a number of collection specimens. We thank Edward R. Bauer, Lt. Lewis R. Boobar, Mr. Thomas Haskins. Ms. Leslie Schimmel, Mr. James Eckler, and Mr. Jan Nyrop for assistance in field collections, sorting, and identifications. Mr. Ber- nie May made the electrophoretic identifications. This project was supported by grant funds from the United States Department of Agriculture under CSRS agreement No. 616-15-94 and Regional Project NE 118, Hatch funds, and the Maine Towns of Brad­ ford, Brownville. East Millinocket, Enfield, Lincoln, Millinocket. Milo, Old Town. Orono. and Maine counties of Penobscot and Piscataquis, and the State of Maine. The electrophoretic work was supported in part by a faculty research grant from the University of Maine at Orono. INTRODUCTION Black flies have been long-time residents of Maine and cause exten­ sive nuisance problems for people, domestic animals, and wildlife. The black fly problem has no simple solution because of the multitude of species present, the diverse and ecologically sensitive habitats in which they are found, and the problems inherent in measuring the extent of the damage they cause.

  • Water Quality Summary for Kenduskeag Stream and Upper Watershed Tributaries
    Water Quality Summary for Kenduskeag Stream and Upper Watershed Tributaries By Mark Whiting, Maine Department of Environmental Protection In Collaboration with Ed Lindsey Old Town High School (formerly of Central High School) March 24, 2006 DEPLW0762 Water quality summary for Kenduskeag Stream and upper watershed tributaries By Mark Whiting, Maine DEP, March 2006 Introduction: General Watershed Characteristics: Kenduskeag Stream is the largest tributary to the Penobscot River located below the first dam at Veazie. For this reason, Kenduskeag Stream has been of interest in Maine’s salmon recovery program. The Penobscot River is the largest salmon river in Maine and it has most of the remaining Atlantic salmon (ASC 2004). However a string of dams restricts fish access to the upper river. Salmon have been maintained by fish ladders, natural reproduction in the mainstem and lower tributaries, and fish stocking by Penobscot-specific strains of salmon. Fortunately, an agreement with the dam owners, federal and state agencies, the Penobscot Indian Nation, and other private organizations will provide for the removal of the two lower dams (Veazie and Great Works), a natural looking bypass channel at another dam (Howland), and improved fish passage at four additional dams. This will improve access to over 500 river miles of fish habitat. For details on the Penobscot River recovery plan see the Penobscot River Restoration Trust website (http://penobscotriver.org/index.html). Kenduskeag Stream is 36 miles long and has a watershed of 215 square miles. The mainstem has 12 named tributaries with subwatersheds that range in size from 3-26 square miles. French Stream, Black Stream and Crooked Brook are the largest tributaries with 26.3, 26.0 and 19.2 square miles respectively (Penobscot County Soil and Water Conservation District watershed plan, 1988).
