    Summary Maine Dredging Team Meeting Department of Environmental Protection Portland, Maine October 4, 2019 10:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. I. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS. Acting chair, Todd Burrowes, Department of Marine Resources/Coastal Program (“DMR”), opened the meeting. At Mr. Burrowes’ request, attendees, including those participating by telephone or webinar, introduced themselves. II. UPDATE ON STATUS OF ACTIVE ACOE DREDGING PROJECTS A. Maintenance dredging projects and related matters. Wendy Gendron, Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) provided updates on the status of the following currently active maintenance dredging projects and related matters: Saco River. The ACOE completed this project which included use of sandy dredged materials for beach nourishment at Camp Ellis. Ms. Gendron explained that woody debris in the dredged materials was inadvertently placed on the beach and had to be removed. Ms. Gendron commended federal, state, and local government colleagues and others who worked closely with the ACOE to accomplish removal of this material prior to the piping plover nesting season. In answer to a question, Ms. Gendron noted that the ACOE is aware that some additional dredging is needed near buoy six and that the ACOE will try to do that work during this fall-winter if the Currituck can be used and funds made available. Tom Dobbins (Portland Harbor Commission) indicated that the Portland Harbor Commission would like to consult with the ACOE about options to finish maintenance dredging of areas in the federal channel not completed (due to lack of time) when the Harbor was last dredged. Mark Habel suggested that the Commission provide a chart which details those areas to facilitate discussion.

  • Little Ossipee River, Connecting the Towns of Waterboro and Limerick, Maine
    HYDROLOGY REPORT Stimson Bridge carries State Route 5 over the Little Ossipee River, connecting the towns of Waterboro and Limerick, Maine. The Little Ossipee River begins in Acton, Maine at Balch Pond Dam and flows northeast for approximately 30 miles to its confluence with the Saco River in the town of Limington, Maine. The Little Ossipee River is approximately 120 feet wide at the location of Stimson Bridge, which is located approximately 14.3 miles upstream of its confluence with the Saco River. The drainage basin characteristics for the bridge are based on the comparison of projected peak flow rates from three sources. The first source is a 2007 report on the estimated magnitudes and recurrence intervals of peak flows on the Mousam and Little Ossipee Rivers for the flood of April 2007, with the estimated peak flows generated using the Expected Moments Algorithm (EMA) (Cohn and others, 1997; Cohn and others, 2001; Griffs and others, 2004) and the flows from the April 2007 flood. The second source is the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) Environmental Office – Hydrology Section which provided peak flows computed using the 1999 U.S.G.S. full regression equation. The third and final source is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance study for York County Maine, which generates peak discharges from a county wide analysis using drainage area relationships for the entire County. The three sets of peak flow data were further examined in cooperation with Charles Hebson from the MaineDOT Environmental Office ‐ Hydrology Section, where it was determined that the peak flows from the 2007 report using the EMA estimates were the most appropriate as it is the most up to date analysis of the Little Ossipee River.
