  • Cumulative Impacts to Environmental Conditions on the Presumpscot River and Its Shorelands
    Cumulative Impacts to Environmental Conditions on the Presumpscot River and its Shorelands (DRAFT -- As distributed at the June 2002 Public Meetings) Title Page pictures Deleted due to large memory size. See separate file Prepared by the Presumpscot River Plan Steering Committee With Technical Assistance Provided by Land and Water Associates Hallowell, Maine And Funding and Assistance Provided by Casco Bay Estuary Project June 11, 2002 ADDENDUM April 18, 2003 Note on the Scope of Analysis for this Cumulative Impacts Report: The geographic scope of this analysis of cumulative impacts is the Presumpscot River from its outlet at Sebago Lake, including its tributaries and adjacent corridor lands, to and including the Casco Bay Estuary. This report addresses the impacts of the regulation of flows out of Sebago Lake at the Eel Weir Dam on the river and Casco Bay Estuary, since the flow regime on the river is almost entirely controlled by management of the Eel Weir Dam, and the Presumpscot River is the largest source of freshwater to Casco Bay. However, it does not include or address issues related to Sebago Lake levels. Comments received at the June 2002 public information meetings raised concerns about the impacts of flow regulation at the Eel Weir Dam on Sebago lake shorelands and wetlands. While it is acknowledged that the regulation of flows at the Eel Weir Dam has impacts not only on the river and estuary but also on Sebago Lake, these impacts are not addressed in this report, and there are no recommendations included in the report to change operations at the Eel Weir Dam.
