Tax ID #31-1559845 Fish sampling in the Lower Kennebec River drainage by MBI has been conducted annually at seven (7) sites in the Lower Kennebec River mainstem since 2002 and at three (3) sites in the Lower Sebasticook River since 2008. MBI conducted the majority of this work as a grantee or contractor to U.S. EPA and the project was covered by 5-year ITPs issued under Section 7 of the ESA since 2010, the most recent of which expired in 2019. The respective Biological Opinions included annual take limits for Atlantic Sturgeon, Shortnose Sturgeon, and Atlantic Salmon and Terms and Conditions based on Reasonable and Prudent Measures for minimizing harm to individual fish and for reporting any incidental takes to NOAA. The history of incidental takes are included with the descriptions of each of the three ESA listed fish species that are known to occur in the Lower Kennebec River system. IV. Species descriptions: Three ESA listed fish species occur in an approximate 17.5 mile reach of the Lower Kennebec River between the Lockwood Dam and Hydropower Project (operated by Brookfield Inc.) in Waterville, ME to the former Edwards Dam site in Augusta, ME and a 3.5 mile reach of the Lower Sebasticook River downstream from the Benton Falls Dam and Hydropower Project (owned by Benton Falls Associates) to its confluence with the Kennebec River in Winslow, ME.

  • Atlantic Salmon EFH the Proposed EFH Designation for Atlantic Salmon
    Atlantic salmon EFH The proposed EFH designation for Atlantic salmon includes the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105, which exhibit the environmental conditions defined in the text descriptions. Smaller tributaries not shown on the map are also EFH for one or more life stage as long as they conform to the proposed habitat descriptions. All EFH river systems form a direct connection to the sea, but EFH would not include portions of rivers above naturally occurring barriers to upstream migration or land-locked lakes and ponds. The oceanic component of EFH is to a distance of three miles from the mouth of each river. The new designation includes six new drainage systems not included in the original list of 26 rivers that were designated in 1998. All of them are in the Maine coastal sub-region (Chandler, Indian, Pleasant, St. George, Medomak, and Pemaquid rivers). All told, 30 river systems in nine New England sub-regions are designated for Atlantic salmon EFH. The new map includes a more continuous series of bays and areas adjacent to river mouths that are within three miles of the coast. Designated EFH in Long Island Sound has been reduced to small areas where the Connecticut and Pawcatuck Rivers empty into the sound, rather than taking up the entire sound. Also, there are a number of improvements in the text descriptions which make the habitat requirements for each life stage more specific and applicable to three separate juvenile life stages (fry, parr, and smolts). Text descriptions: Essential fish habitat for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is designated as the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105.

The 8-Digit HUC is further divided into seven 10-digit sub-basins and 28 12-digit sub- basins. It is comprised of 126 Great Ponds and upwards of 2000 smaller waterbodies. These drain to the Gulf of Maine through one of seven major river systems and a network of intermittent and perennial streams that is nearly 1300 miles long. The watershed area represents 3.1% of the total area of the state. There are five counties and 50 towns with land areas within the watershed. These account for approximately 110,000, or 8.6%, of Maine’s 1,275,000 residents*. The sub-basin is served by four NRCS service centers, one resource conservation and development office, and four soil and water conservation district. *Note: Population data is for entire town/census area even if only a portion is contained within the HUC _________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction - Common Resource Area2 144 B.1-New England and Eastern New York Upland, Northern Part3 Till mantled rolling to hilly uplands with level to sloping valleys terminating in coastal lowlands.
