Court and Other Admissions • U.S. District Court for the District of Maine Experience Swift Current Energy Verrill represents the 100-megawatt Three Rivers Solar Project in Hancock County, Maine. Verrill assists the project with real estate and environmental permitting work, including negotiation of a protocol to allow the project to proceed while minimizing potential impacts to upland sandpipers, a state-listed threatened species. The project obtained its combined Site Law and Natural Resources Protection Act permit from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection in July 2020. Three Rivers Solar will become the largest solar project in the state, twice the size of the next largest facility (the 50 MW Sanford Airport Solar project). The project will consist of approximately 300,000 to 400,000 solar panels on 465 acres in the unorganized area of the state. Sales of Kennebec Hydro Project Verrill represented Kennebec Water District in connection with the sale to Essex Hydro of its hydro-electric facility on the Kennebec River. Bill Harwood and Brian Marshall represented Kennebec Water District in seeking FERC approval of the transfer of the project and securing an order of the Maine PUC declining to assert jurisdiction over the sale. Mark Googins negotiated the Purchase & Sale Agreement and Tony Calcagni negotiated the transfer of real estate and related easements. Solar Energy: Acquisition of Grid-Scale Project in Brunswick, Maine Verrill represented Diversified Communications in the acquisition of a newly built $2.5 million solar array in Brunswick, Maine. The array, which was developed by ReVision Energy and went online in January 2018, will provide power to more than 100 businesses at Brunswick Landing. Verrill attorneys advised Diversified Communications on a range of issues in the transaction, including federal debt financing, solar investment tax credits, solar renewable energy credits, electric power sales, EPC contracting, and regulatory, real estate and corporate matters. We worked collaboratively with Diversified Communications and the developer of the project to get the deal done on a short timeline while minimizing investment risk. Oakhurst Dairy: The Natural Goodness of an Enduring Legacy The Bennett Family L to R: Jean Bennett Driscoll, William P. Bennett, Mary Ellen Bennett Tetreau, Priscilla Bennett Doucette, Althea Bennett McGirr, John H. Bennett When Stanley T. Bennett opened Oakhurst Dairy in 1921, he laid the groundwork for what would grow to become an iconic multi-generational family-owned business with a reputation for innovation, community service and environmental stewardship. His family successfully ran the business for three generations. In 2013, the family made the decision to sell the company to Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA), a $12 billion cooperative. A team of Verrill attorneys worked closely with the Bennetts throughout the complex merger negotiations which lasted more than six months and involved multiple potential acquirers. Many legal issues required attention beyond the agreement negotiations, and Verrill had the breadth and depth of experience to take them on. Our team provided counsel relating to federal antitrust review, taxation and benefits issues, intellectual property, environmental permitting and real estate interests. Oakhurst's numerous dairy products have been a household staple in New England for generations. The Bennett family was thrilled to have the partnership opportunity presented by DFA, with its national presence, complementing culture and values, and financial strength. As a result of the sale, none of Oakhurst's 200 employees lost their jobs, the company will continue to get its milk from the 70 independent Maine farmers who supply Oakhurst's milk, and the integrity of the product will be maintained. Verrill was honored to work with this iconic company in ensuring its legacy will endure and the dairy will remain a vibrant member of the local economy for generations to come. Blue Sky East: Lease and Easement Negotiations Our attorneys handled lease and easement negotiations and related project agreements for a proposed 34.2 megawatt wind power project in T16 MD, Hancock County, Maine. We also performed title work and arranged for title insurance and surveys. Champlain Wind: Lease and Easement Negotiations Our attorneys provided lease and easement negotiations, fee acquisitions and related project agreements for proposed wind energy project of up to 69.1 megawatts, with associated 5-mile electric generator lead line, in Carroll Plantation (Penobscot County) and Kossuth Township (Washington County), Maine. Additional work on behalf of this client included title work and arranging for title insurance and surveys Emera's Acquisition of Swan's Island Electric Cooperative Emera's 2017 acquisition of Swan's Island Electric Cooperative required a multi- disciplined team of Verrill energy lawyers to successfully close the transaction. Because the seller was a member based cooperative, the transaction was structured as an asset purchase, rather than a stock purchase. This required a determination that the Cooperative had marketable title to hundreds of easements, many of which had been acquired by the Cooperative decades earlier. Upon investigation, the parties identified that there were over 200 easements to be acquired or confirmed for Cooperative power lines crossing private property. Tony Calcagni worked with the Cooperative management team for approximately one year to remedy the problems and procure valid deeds to the power line easements. The acquisition also raised a novel question of utility ratemaking. Because of the high cost of serving the islands, the Public Utilities Commission raised the issue as to whether island ratepayers should pay more than Emera's mainland rates for electricity. In a two to one decision, the Maine PUC rejected the acquisition, finding that charging mainland rates to island customers would result in an unreasonable subsidy of island customers. In response, Bill Harwood and Brian Marshall, renegotiated the terms of the acquisition by including a five-year monthly surcharge on island ratepayers, and were thereby able to convince the Public Utilities Commission to approve the acquisition. Evergreen Gen Lead: Easement Negotiation and Project Agreements • Negotiated original easements and related project agreements for 38-mile 115 kV transmission line (currently operational), including easements w/ MEPCO, Eastern Maine Railway Co., Maine Central Railroad Co., Prentiss & Carlisle, Eastern Maine Electric Coop., State of Maine/IF&W, and many others. • Arranged for title insurance and surveys • Serve as local real estate counsel for financings: o July 17, 2009 mortgage loan w/ HSH Nordbank o Dec. 22, 2009 mortgage loan w/BNP Paribas LUPC Ruling Reversal We obtained a reversal of a 10-year-old Land Use Planning Commission ruling for a Moosehead Lake landowner. The new determination found that the landowner's property was consistent with LUPC rules and allowed the client to convey his family camp to another family member. Without our advocacy, LUPC's position was that the client's property did not meet dimensional requirements and was not saleable. Verrill Dana attorneys also handled the landowner's real estate transactions and probate issues related to the camp, including

    Issues in the Unorganized Areas of Northern Ontario

    ISSUES IN THE UNORGANIZED AREAS OF NORTHERN ONTARIO Dean J. Nickerson 6368187 Public Administration 931 25 August 1992 1 On a national level, there is a widespread tendency to view Ontario as a homogenous whole of big Toronto-like cities, industries and big business centres. In other words, the province tends to exhibit a powerful image as the nation's heartland and decision-making centre, an image that has often raised the ire of other regions. However, picturing Ontario as one giant suburb of Toronto or as the 401 corridor is a gross simplification of the overall character of the entire province. The industries, people and power so often seen as the defining character of Ontario is actually present mainly in the south. The remainder, northern Ontario, is a region vastly different in many respects. In addition to the dichotomies in economic base, population, settlement patterns and physical geography, some important differences also exist in the characteristics of local government. One of the most important of these is the presence of vast areas that effectively have no local government at all. Such a situation does not exist in the south, where residents are governed through the good offices of townships and counties (and their successors) established in the last century. These areas without local government, generally known as unorganized or unincorporated areas (both terms are used here) provide an interesting and often unexplored topic of study, one that this work will attempt to examine. More specifically, the unorganized areas will be looked at from the perspective of a source of difficulty for the province of Ontario.

WHEREAS, community revenue sharing began in 1969 to help ease fiscal problems facing local governments, stabilize or reduce local property taxes, encourage local provision of public services, and stabilize local budgets and planning; and WHEREAS, revenue sharing has undergone significant and dramatic changes since 1969, leading to a situation in 2004 where all revenue sharing programs were proposed for elimination after years of reductions, which corresponded to increased property taxes , elimination of municipal services, and reduced capacity; and WHEREAS, the State of Alaska exempts itself from local taxes even though it uses local services and approximately $1.4 billion (2017) in property taxes are paid by local taxpayers to subsidize State operations; and WHEREAS, the Alaska Municipal League has been firm in its advocacy for the absolute necessity of a form of and enough revenue sharing that strengthens the capacity of municipal governments, alleviates the need for higher local taxes, and bolsters the delivery of public services; and WHEREAS, the recent fiscal crisis experienced by the State of Alaska made apparent the reality of cost-shifting to municipalities and the potential for State reductions to municipal budgets, particularly in the form of reduced or eliminated revenue sharing; and, WHEREAS, uncertainty at the State level – due either to limits to annual

    Guide to State and Local Census Geography

    Guide to State and Local Census Geography Guide to State and Local Census Geography The first Guide to State and Local Census Geography (1990 CPH-I-18) was issued in June 1993 as a joint venture between the US Census Bureau and the Association of Public Data Users (APDU). The book contained an overview of census geography and had information about key geographic concepts for each state as it related to the 1990 Census. The US Census Bureau updated this publication based on geography for the 2010 Census and is making it available as a web publication. The format of this publication is similar to the 1993 publication in that it has information about the census geography of each state. This edition of the publication includes: Basic information about the state o 2010 Census Population o Land Area o Density o Capital o Date Became a State o Bordering States o International Borders History of the State o Includes information as to what censuses have data for this state American Indian Areas Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas and Related Statistical Areas Counties County Subdivisions Places Census Tracts/Block Groups/Blocks Congressional Districts School Districts State Legislative Districts Urban Areas ZIP Code Tabulation Areas Other Information of General Geographic Interest (select states) Historical Centers of Population Most Populous, Largest in Area, and Most Densely Populated Areas Lists of Entities Page | 1 http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/geoguide.html Guide to State and Local Census Geography Alabama .......................................................................................................................................................

    METADATA DETAIL PAGE This is a selection from the Ontario Land Information Directory for Metadata Holdings. The following represents the Basic description of an information holding. To obtain more information about this holding, see the section named Contacts. Detail Information: GENERAL INFORMATION Official Name of the Data Set or Information Holding: Township and Unorganized Area Fabric for Ontario Acronyms are Used to Identify the Data Set or Information Holding: Data Set 12 Describe the Data Set or Information Holding: Ontario Geological Survey (author) A Geographic Township is a polygon feature that indicates the fundamental land subdivision fabric of the Province. Each Geographic Township area may or may not be the same as the jurisdictional area of the township. The location of Township lines on the OBM were determined by using a combination of both survey information i.e. retracements, original township plans, surveys notes, etc.; and OBM physical features such as roads, trails, fencelines, and water bodies. In some areas where there were almost no OBM physical features available, aerial photographs may have been used to help determine boundaries. Unorganized areas are derived from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Base Map Areas. The Intended Use and Purpose for Collecting the Data Set or Information Holding: To provide a spatial geographic reference to the fundamental land subdivision of the Province. The geographic township fabric is shown as it was originally surveyed, unless it has been annulled upon the instruction of the Surveyor General. For administrative and spacial reference purposes only, this map data is unedited and is not for survey purposes.

    Schreve’ Is Just a Pencil Line

    The ‘Schreve’ is Just a Pencil Line: Struggles over Regional Assembling Along the Franco-Belgian Border By Sam Hurulean Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Jean-Louis Fabiani CEU eTD Collection Dan Rabinowitz Budapest, Hungary June 2017 ABSTRACT This study explores the current regional developments in northern France and the cross-border relations that have (re)emerged in the context of globalization and Europeanization. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, it investigates what actors are involved in the construction of the region and focuses on the power play between them to analyze how they struggle to work towards regional institutionalization. Borrowing from Latour, I approach the region as a ‘regional assemblage,’ highlighting the importance of the historical trajectory. I aim to demonstrate that the process of regional assembling can be understood as, what Bourdieu has termed, a ‘symbolic struggle’ during which particular forms of capital are mobilized in order to work towards the construction of a legitimate perception of the region. I argue that the historical trajectory has forced French Flemish regionalism to confine itself to the cultural, folkloric realm and that, contrary to other French regionalisms, it has made it difficult – if not impossible – to frame efforts in a political or ethnoregionalist way. Nonetheless, new understandings of territory, and the weakening of the state boundaries have provided space for new regionalist strategies to emerge. Key Words: Europe, France, Border, Border Region, Border Studies, Regional Identity, New Regionalism, Territorial Cooperation, Cross-Border Cooperation, Integration CEU eTD Collection i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To professor Jean-Louis Fabiani, I would like to express my gratitude for he has supported and encouraged me throughout the entire research and writing process.
