The Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Regulation Act of 1988 established a cooperative program of comprehensive planning and land use management among the municipalities, regional planning councils, and the state. The focal points of the Act are: 1. The establishment of state goals to provide overall direction and consistency to the planning and regulatory actions of the municipalities and the state 2. The establishment of technical and financial assistance programs through the state planning office and regional planning councils to encourage and help communities develop comprehensive plans, and 3. The establishment of a process for the review of the comprehensive plans by the State Planning Office and regional planning councils to ensure that they are consistent with the Comprehensive Planning Act. Part 1 of Mapleton, Castle Hill, and Chapman’s Comprehensive Plan addresses the past and present resources, analyzes recent trends, and identifies potential problem areas. This section provides the overall community profile of such things as transportation, public facilities and services, natural and cultural resources, housing, land use, the local economy, and the towns fiscal capacity. Part 2 of the Plan is the regional coordination program. Mapleton, Castle Hill, and Chapman are unique in many ways; however, each community shares its natural resources and public facilities with surrounding towns and likewise utilizes other communities’ services and resources. This portion of the plan identifies those natural resources and public facilities that extend beyond the town’s borders and develops implementation actions for the joint management of each. Part 3 of the plan will discuss specific goals, policies, and strategies. These policies relate the findings of the inventories in the first part of the plan to the state, regional, and local goals. It is this portion of the Comprehensive Plan that residents can assist in the shaping of Mapleton, Castle Hill, and Chapman. The strategies discuss those programs, activities, and regulations that Mapleton, Castle Hill, and Chapman will undertake in the future to make sure that the goals and policies are met. 5 6 Demographics Introduction Demographic analysis and projections are the basic elements of any comprehensive plan; all other components of the plan depend on the current and projected population. The information generated from the demographic projections enhances the capacity of the towns to prepare for the impact of future growth on such things as land use, housing demand, public services, and economic development. It can also prepare them for the changing needs of the residents as well as the services and programs provided. According to the 2000 US Census, the population of Mapleton was 1,889, Chapman had 465 people, and Castle Hill’s population was 454. Statistical data contained in the following section uses 1980, 1990 and 2000 US Census data. Following 2000, statistics are based on figures compiled for the Maine State Planning Office by the University of Southern Maine. This model, REMI (Regional Economic Model, Inc) became available in 2002. The REMI model will be used for State and County population statistics and for total and age group projections whenever possible. The demographic information included in this section encompasses the following: permanent population, age of population, educational attainment, occupations of population, total number of households, household size, and household income. Also included in this section is an analysis of the data presented. The first portion of this section includes an assessment of Maine’s population, Aroostook County’s population, and the population of communities located in the central Aroostook area. Comparative communities were used in the assessment include: Presque Isle, Washburn, Ashland, and Westfield and these communities will frequently be used to compare regional statistics versus local data. The analysis, which follows, is an approximation of future growth, no projection or estimate can be exact because there are many independent variables which could affect the final estimates, such as an industry closing down or, for that matter, a very large industry relocating in town or the region. Therefore, the projections are intended to reflect the general direction and size of changes. Changes in age groups should be viewed with the same importance as the total change in population. State of Maine Maine has experienced a steady rise in the population level since the turn of the twentieth century. According to the 2000 US Census, the state’s population had risen to 1,306,060, up from 1,227,928 in 1990. In 2010, the population of the state is projected to increase to 1,385,109, and then decline slightly to 1,371,022 for the year 2015. The US Census is used for data reference through 2000 for State and County figures. After 2000, population data is from the REMI model which has incorporated the use of the Treyz model in its statistical processes. The Treyz model is comprised of a "census undercount adjustment" and will account for population that is either miscounted or left out entirely in the Census counts. Additional data 7 indicates that none of the growth experienced in the state since 1970 occurred in Aroostook County. Aroostook County, with its vast areas of open land and the largest land area for potential growth, experienced a population decline. Aroostook County According to US Census figures, from the turn of the century until the 1960's, the population of Aroostook County was on a steady increase, from 60,744 people in 1900 to 106,064 in 1960. Much of the growth can certainly be attributed to the build-up of population associated with Loring Air Force Base in Limestone. However, since 1960 the population of Aroostook County has been slowly declining from this peak to a population of 73,938 in 2000. The closure of Loring as well as the mechanization of agriculture and lumbering has contributed greatly to this decline. Aroostook County had suffered a 15% loss of population in the 1990s. According to the State Planning Office, Aroostook County’s population is expected to continue to decline though 2010 with a projected population of 71,065. The trend is expected to reverse itself slightly between 2010 and 2015 with an increase to 72,893 people in 2015. Sub-Regional Population A review of the following charts shows a mixture of growth and decline in all of the selected communities. Mapleton and Castle Hill, for instance lost population in the 1980s but gained in the 90s. Chapman gained population through the selected period. Based upon the 2000 US Census and the 2002 REMI projections, Mapleton will gain 5 people by the year 2010, resulting in a projected total population of 1,894 and 65 new people by 2015. Castle Hill is projected to gain 35 people by 2010 and 48 by 2015. Like Mapleton and Castle Hill, Chapman is expected to grow through the period. Chapman’s population is projected to be 502 people by 2015. REMI projects a mixture of growth and decline in each of the selected communities during the same time period. Overall, Chapman and Mapleton are projected to see an increase in population while Castle Hill, Presque Isle, Ashland, and Washburn are all expected to decline. The greatest gain in population is expected to be in Chapman (34.9%) while the greatest loss is projected to be in Washburn (-22.3%). Mapleton, Castle Hill, and Chapman’s population is still being more positive than Aroostook County’s population loss of 20.2 percent through the period.

This is always a difficult role for the Board to play, Mr. Dionne, in that the Act charges us with an interpretation of the legislation when it becomes the law of the province. And then pursuant to that we are ordered to -- by it, we are required to issue licenses to all, in this case, participants, in the electricity market.

  • Oxytropis Campestris (L.) DC
    New England Plant Conservation Program Oxytropis campestris (L.) DC. var. johannensis Fern. St. John River Oxytrope Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Arthur Haines Research Botanist New England Wild Flower Society For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, May 2001 1 SUMMARY Saint John River oxytrope (Oxytropis campestris var. johannensis) is a deep-rooted perennial herb that occurs on ice scoured river beaches and rock outcrops. In New England, it occurs only on the St. John River in northern Maine. This species currently possesses a state rank of S1. Saint John River oxytrope is known from a total of 14 stations since 1861, including a questionable occurrence on the Aroostook River. Three of these stations are new and were discovered during literature surveys for this Conservation Plan. Formerly found over approximately 118 km of river shore in north-western, north-central, and north-eastern Aroostook County, it is presently limited to ca. 28 km of river shore in north-central Aroostook County. Six extant locations are known. Two sites are believed to have been extirpated. Associated species include dwarf sand-cherry (Prunus pumila var. depressa), tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa), and alpine milk-vetch (Astragalus alpinus). Damming and river shore disturbance are two primary threats to this species. The overall conservation objectives are to study, protect, and maintain St. John River oxytrope and the associated natural communities in New England. It is recommended that land owner contact, field surveys, securing long-term protection, demographic study, plant reintroduction, and biosystematic study be performed to achieve the conservation objectives.
