Greater Portland's news and arts weekly JULY 26, 1990 FREE STILL DI AFTER ALL THESE YEARS Government money and citizen activists are flooding into Casco Bay - the only thing flowing faster is the pollution

By Deborah Fuller

Ten years ago, Maine scientists were sur­ prised to learn that Casco Bay was suffering from pollution. Two years ago, the Conserva­ tion Law Foundation declared the bay one ofthe dirtiest harbors in the nation. This spring, the federal government admitted that Casco Bay needs help. Casco Bay was declared a Nationally Signifi­ cant Estuary, a designation which opened the floodgates for federal funds to flow toward the bay. But that money can't be used to stop the pollution. Even though Boothbay Harbor scientists and Boston lawyers have demonstrated to the satis­ faction of the U.5. District Court that the Port­ land Water District (PWD) is a leading polluter of Casco Bay, the National Estuary funds can not be used to rebuild the PWD's problemed sewer­ age treatment plant at East End Beach. Instead, that $2 million will bankroll studies to deter- mine, once again, that the PWD is among the leading polluters of the bay. And while that BULK RATE money is being spent, Casco Bay and its 240,000 library Collection , u.s.

The group was spawned in April of 1989 by the Water Quality Advisory 20% OFF SWIMMING AOV\SOJ\'l Committee of the Greater Portland Council of Governments. any Since its conception, the group has undergone "an organiza­ tional scramble," said member Ray Riciputi, a biology professor HAIRCUT at USM. The group has been fundraising to buy the equipment • and supplies necessary to begin water sampling, he said. Recently, the Presumpscot River Watch, with funding from three local agencies, began its first water sampling program. Two dozen trained volunteers take water samples every two weeks (more during rain) at 32 different sites along the river and its tributaries from Sebago Lake to Casco Bay. Volunteers analyze the water at Westbrook High School and USM for various indicators of contamination. When school starts in the TIME: - fall, the program will continue with student volunteers from at least three high schools. (Contact Amy MacDonald at 781-5526) Like the government studies, these groups are working to ; ...... identify the less obvious sources of pollution in Casco Bay. / Water pollution comes from two types of sources: point and \- nonpoint. Point sources are facilities or locations where a specific pipe or other discharge site can be identified. The pipe that runs from a treatment plant into the bay is an example of a point source. Nonpoint sources are, for example, the oil that drips from cars parked on streets that drain into the bay - or pesticides Which restaurant that runoff a field into a stream that flows into the Presumpscot in the Old Port River. will serve you a Point sources are easy to identify.
