    LIDAR and other evidence for the southwest continuation and Late Quaternary reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a cross-cutting structure near Biddeford, Maine, USA Ronald T . Marple1 and James D. Hurd, Jr .2 1. 403 Wickersham Avenue, Fort Benning, Georgia 31905, USA 2. Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, The University of Connecticut, 1376 Storrs Road, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4087, USA Corresponding author <[email protected]> Date received: 14 April 2019 ¶ Date accepted: 01 September 2019 ABSTRACT High-resolution LiDAR (light detection and ranging) images reveal numerous NE-SW-trending geomorphic lineaments that may represent the southwest continuation of the Norumbega fault system (NFS) along a broad, 30- to 50-km-wide zone of brittle faults that continues at least 100 km across southern Maine and southeastern New Hampshire. These lineaments are characterized by linear depressions and valleys, linear drainage patterns, abrupt bends in rivers, and linear scarps. The Nonesuch River, South Portland, and Mackworth faults of the NFS appear to continue up to 100 km southwest of the Saco River along prominent but discontinuous LiDAR lineaments. Southeast-facing scarps that cross drumlins along some of the lineaments in southern Maine suggest that late Quaternary displacements have occurred along these lineaments. Several NW-SE-trending geomorphic features and geophysical lineaments near Biddeford, Maine, may represent a 30-km-long, NW-SE-trending structure that crosses part of the NFS. Brittle NW- SE-trending, pre-Triassic faults in the Kittery Formation at Biddeford Pool, Maine, support this hypothesis. RÉSUMÉ Des images haute résolution prises par LiDAR (détection et télémétrie par ondes lumineuses) dévoilent de nombreux linéaments orientés du NE vers le SO qui pourraient représenter la continuité au sud-ouest du système de failles de Norumbega (SFN) le long d’une vaste zone de 30 à 50 km de largeur de failles cassantes qui se poursuit sur au moins 100 km à travers le sud du Maine et le sud-est du New Hampshire.

  • Scarborough Beach Scarborough Higgins Beach Scarborough
    Higgins Beach Scarborough Beach Scarborough Scarborough The variations in the profiles along Higgins Beach may relate to the three different beach types found at each of the profile locations. HI1 is located at the base of a large rip-rap seawall; this wall is “active” at high stages of the tide – that is, tidal water and wave activity is in contact with the seawall. This is reflected in the less berm development and general low variability of the mean profiles, especially as compared with HI2. HI2, though it starts at a seawall, is located at a portion of the beach that has more sediment, and undergoes more seasonal changes, and is not active during high tide phases. HI3 is heavily influenced by the spit end of Higgins Beach, which terminates at the Spurwink River ebb-tidal delta; this area undergoes large changes At SC2 annual variability is greater than at SC1. From Seasonal variability at SC2 shows the expected due to sediment movement and availability 1999 to 2000 and 2005 to 2006 about 1 meter of influence of the summer berm on the upper profile with at the spit and ebb-tidal delta. sediment was lost and the dune appears to have greater variability than in winter. The outer profile has receded. From 2006 to 2007 the mean profile lowered greater winter variability consistent with seasonal about a meter - some of which may be due to the 2007 sandbar migration. Patriots’ Day Storm. Data at Scarborough Beach indicate that the beach undergoes typical seasonal changes and that the beach is generally stable.

Scott Construction of Falmouth, Maine was awarded a $820,000 contract for this work. Blackstrap Rd Bridge Rehabilitation & Falmouth Interchange Exit 52 Bridge – 2013: Blackstrap Road Bridge will be raised and the existing concrete deck will be replaced. The bridge will be closed from June - November 2013. Exit 52 bridge will also be raised and the existing concrete deck will be partially replaced. The bridge and southbound on and off ramps are expected to be closed for a week in May 2013. The off ramp will remain closed until November. Any necessary detours will be coordinated with the City of Falmouth, the City of Portland, and the MaineDOT. CPM Constructors of Freeport, Maine was awarded a $3.5 million contract for this work. Presumpscot River Bridge Rehabilitation – 2013 (Continued): The bridges over the Presumpscot River on the Falmouth Spur are being rehabilitated with a new concrete deck and other superstructure and substructure repairs. This 18 month project, which began in 2012, will have the Falmouth Spur down to one lane in both directions through fall 2013, though impacts to traffic should be minimal. In 2012, Lane Construction of Bangor, Maine was awarded the $3.2 million contract for this work.

  • The Dirty History of Portland Harbor
    Reprinted from a 1994 publication The Dirty History of Portland Harbor hen scientists began looking closely at the sediments and at W the bottom of Casco Bay beginning in the early 1980s, they confronted a pollution puzzle. Sediments taken from various locations throughout the Bay, and especially in Portland Harbor, held a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals. Until we know more about how these heavy metals, pesticides and other compounds affect marine life, it’s hard to know what lasting impact the pollution in Casco Bay may have. But it was decided that the more we know about where those pollutants came from, the better chances we will have in preventing future problems. The Casco Bay Estuary Project (now Casco Bay Early industry was limited by natural energy sources, like this tidal mill at Estuary Partnership) commissioned environmental Stroudwater. (courtesy: Sullivan Train & Photo) historian Edward Hawes to do some detective work, hoping that he could turn up some puzzle pieces from the Casco Bay. Lead, cadmium and mercury concentrations were watersheds that feed the Bay. The industrial legacy he found comparatively high in Back Cove, as were lead and mercury was a surprise to almost anyone who thinks they know the in the inner Fore River. Lead was also relatively high in the Portland area. Presumpscot River estuary. Additional metals — nickel, silver, arsenic, chromium A Pollution Problem and zinc — were evident in lesser concentrations. This widespread contamination was a little mystifying. In this age hen investigators began sampling Casco Bay’s of environmental regulation, how could so much pollution sediments in the 1980s, levels of pollution have landed in the Bay?
