  • Comprehensive Plan Vol. 1, Part 4
    Vol. I, 2009 Edgecomb Comprehensive Plan 24 PART 4 NATURAL RESOURCES CRITICAL NATURAL RESOURCES MAINE’S GROWTH MANAGEMENT GOAL To protect the state's other critical natural resources, including without limitation, wetlands, wildlife and fisheries habitat, sand dunes, shorelands, scenic vistas, and unique natural areas. TOWN VISION To protect Edgecomb’s critical natural resources within and surrounding Edgecomb’s privately- owned undeveloped and unfragmented lands; Edgecomb’s only great pond, Lily Pond; the town- owned Charles and Constance Schmid Land Preserve as well as Edgecomb’s tidal frontage and its scenic vistas. CITIZENS’ VIEW (SURVEY RESPONSE) ● 58%, or 205 respondents, choose to live in Edgecomb because of its proximity to water, clear skies and starry nights. ● 54%, or 177 respondents, enjoy the respect for privacy in Edgecomb. Unfragmented Parcels ● 71%, or 253 respondents, defined rural as (Source: Beginning with Habitat) “the bulk of our land remaining undeveloped, with large tracts of backland, fields and forests.” ● 28%, or 94 respondents, objected to forestry operations “in their back yard.” ● 54%, or 191 respondents, felt that nature preserves are an acceptable trade-off for lost tax revenue. CONDITIONS AND TRENDS The topography of the upper part of the peninsula comprising the Town of Edgecomb is typical of Maine coastline peninsulas. A gently rolling landscape of rocky, clay soil, remaining from land which was heavily wooded before clearing and settlement of the 18th century, is laid over a granite skeleton. A mixture of second and third growth woodland is broken by the pattern of open fields surviving from 18th and 19th century farms when agriculture and fishing were the major sources of livelihood for inhabitants.

Harbert One night last April Michael Metevier got off work at midnight and headed over to Raoul's to hear some blues. An hour later he was cruising home, feeling good. His tune changed when he got home. His door was smashed open. The lock lay useless on the floor. The lights were -. glaring. "It was quite a bunch of mixed emotions - shock and being violated. I was kind of in a daze," says Metevier of finding his home burglarized. He didn't sleep well that night. He kept thinking that someone he didn't know had been in his home - and had stolen his telephone, answering machine, flashlight, calculator, candy dish, towel!! and electric shaver.

Arter BSA Environmental Consulting And Barbara Snapp, Ph. D. January 2006 Sponsored By The Narraguagus River Watershed Council Funded By The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Narraguagus River Water Quality Monitoring Plan Preface In an effort to enhance water quality monitoring (WQM) coordination among agencies and conservation organizations, the Project SHARE Research and Management Committee initiated a program whereby river-specific WQM Plans are developed for Maine rivers that currently contain Atlantic salmon populations listed in the Endangered Species Act. The Sheepscot River WQM Plan was the first plan to be developed under this initiative. It was developed between May 2003 and June 2004. The Action Items were finalized and the document signed in March 2005 (Arter, 2005). The Narraguagus River WQM Plan is the second such plan and was produced by a workgroup comprised of representatives from both state and federal government agencies and several conservation organizations (see Acknowledgments). The purpose of this plan is to characterize current WQM activities, describe current water quality trends, identify the role of each monitoring agency, and make recommendations for future monitoring. The project was funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
