Of the several projects which have been undertaken by the Survey to reach this objective, the present series of Economic Evaluations has met with the most success. It is not a common practice for a State Agency of this type to enter the field of mineral exploration, even in first phase work. At the outset, however, with the publication of Economic Study Series #1 (Penobscot County) it was recognized and noted that the specific problems for conducting explo­ ration in Maine that were being encountered by mining companies had hindered successful exploration work. The geologists initially involved in these four Economic Studies had gained experience in the State in previous work and it was felt that if the State Survey could underwrite the cost of experimental techniques in exploration several hurdles might be overcome. The editor and his colleagues feel that the recent history of successes in mineral explor­ ation in Maine have justified the program in Maine. This present report will be the last in a series of four areal economic evaluations. Like its predecessors, results presented herein run the whole gamut of target interest; but the information does provide an accurate representation of the type of targets and environment which are found within the subject area. -1- The editor wishes to acknowledge the unique contribution so un- stintingly provided by field directors of the various programs, To Dr. Robert S. Young, Chief Geologist, University of Virginia; Mr, Lawrence A. Wing, Chief Geochemist, James W, Sewall Company; and to Mr. W. F. Stickney of the Survey staff and geologic coordinator, the editor offers his grateful thanks and appreciation. Appreciation and acknowledgment should be extended to all of the field assistants who supported the program since 1959; and to the geologic mapping parties from the USGS staff, as well as the many geologists who made contributions to our effort in their work for private industry and universities. With the present high level of exploration activity in Maine and northern New England, it would be presumptuous for this Agency to continue conducting exploration reconnaissance in the nature of the present economic studies. The Maine Geological Survey will, however, continue the economically oriented topical studies in both areas of interest and mineral commodities where such needs arise. The bulk of the effort of the Survey for the next several years will be directed toward detailed geologic mapping especially in areas of economic interest. Robert G.

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

The record of this proceeding demonstrates that the project will satisfy the Department’s permitting standards subject to the conditions in this Order. Issuance of this Order follows a 29-month regulatory review, which included six days of evidentiary hearings and two nights of public testimony. Twenty-two parties, consolidated into ten groups, participated in the evidentiary hearings by helping to shape the administrative review process, providing sworn testimony from dozens of witnesses, cross examining those witnesses, and submitting argument on the interpretation and application of relevant permitting criteria. Hundreds of Maine citizens testified during the public hearings and submitted written comment on the many issues the application presented. The hearing and public comment process provided the Department with critical information and analysis of the applicant's proposal, its impacts, whether and how those impacts can be mitigated, and the availability of alternatives. The record shows the project as originally proposed would have had substantial impacts, particularly in the 53.5-mile portion of the corridor that extends from the Quebec border to The Forks, known as Segment 1.

  • Timeline of Maine Skiing New England Ski Museum in Preparation for 2015 Annual Exhibit
    Timeline of Maine Skiing New England Ski Museum In preparation for 2015 Annual Exhibit Mid 1800s: “…the Maine legislature sought to populate the vast forests of northern Maine. It offered free land to anyone who would take up the challenge of homesteading in this wilderness. ...Widgery Thomas, state legislator and ex-Ambassador to Sweden…suggested that the offer of free land be made to people in Sweden. In May, 1870 Thomas sailed for Sweden to offer 100 acres of land to any Swede willing to settle in Maine. Certificates of character were required. Thomas himself had to approve each recruit.” Glenn Parkinson, First Tracks: Stories from Maine’s Skiing Heritage . (Portland: Ski Maine, 1995), 4. March 1869: “In March 1869 the state resolved “to promote the settlement of the public and other lands” by appointing three commissioners of settlement. William Widgery Thomas, Jr., one of the commissioners, had extensive diplomatic experience as ambassador to Sweden for Presidents Arthur and Harrison. Thomas had lived among the Swedes for years and was impressed with their hardy quality. He returned to the United States convinced that Swedes would make just the right sort of settlers for Maine. When Thomas became consul in Goteborg (Gothenburg), he made immediate plans for encouraging Swedes to emigrate to America.” E. John B. Allen, “”Skeeing” in Maine: The Early Years, 1870s to 1920s”, Maine Historical Society Quarterly , 30, 3 & 4, Winter, Spring 1991, 149. July 23, 1870 "Widgery Thomas and his group of 22 men, 11 women and 18 children arrived at a site in the woods north of Caribou.

  • From Jockey Cap to Jordan Bowl, Oxford
    Celebrating and Preserving the History and Heritage of Maine Skiing • Summer 2018 SKI MUSEUM OF MAINE “From Jockey Cap to Jordan Bowl, Oxford County Historic Ski Sites” Ski Museum’s Newest Exhibit in Bethel, Maine “From Jockey Cap to Jordan Bowl, Oxford County Historic Ski Sites” is an outgrowth of the New England Ski Museum’s loan and subsequent purchase by SMOM of the 2015 NESM’s “Mountains of Maine-Skiing in the Pine Tree State” exhibit, which had been on display at the Bethel Historical Society since June of 2016. Randy Bennett, Executive Director of the BHS, aware that SMOM was looking to establish a satellite museum in the Bethel area, offered a seasonal exhibit space in the Robinson House, on Broad Street in downtown Bethel. Over the winter of 2017/2018 Bennett and the BHS Board of Trustees approved an offer to SMOM for continuous use of the Western Mountains Gallery in the Robinson House. In the spring of 2017 SMOM purchased the NESM’s Mountains of Maine Exhibit, dedicating and renaming it “The Christie Exhibit” in memory of John Christie, one of Maine skiing’s greatest friends and supporters. The Christie Exhibit is now our travelling exhibit and will be on display at the Camden Public Library in October. The concept for the new “Jockey Cap to Jordan Bowl” exhibit came from a map of Oxford County Historic Paris Manufacturing Co.

  • Visual Quality and Scenic Character
    Site Law Application – New England Clean Energy Connect 6.0 VISUAL QUALITY AND SCENIC CHARACTER 6.1 INTRODUCTION The New England Clean Energy Connect Project (NECEC) is a High Voltage Direct Current (“HVDC”) transmission line and related facilities project with the capacity to deliver up to 1,200 MW of electric generation starting at the Canadian Border in Beattie Township (Twp) and connecting to the New England Control Area through the new Merrill Road Converter Station and existing Larrabee Road Substation in Lewiston, Maine. The project is composed of five segments. Segment 1 includes 53.5 miles of new HVDC transmission line corridor within a 150’ wide cleared corridor within a 300’ right-of-way supported by single pole self-weathering steel structures with an average height of 100’. The new HVDC transmission line corridor will be located in Beattie TWP, Lowelltown Twp, Skinner Twp, Appleton Twp, T5 R7 BKP WKR, Bradstreet TWP, Parlin Pond Twp, Johnson Mountain Twp, West Forks Twp, Moxie Gore, and The Forks Plantation (Plt). Segment 2 includes the northern portion (22+/- miles) of HVDC transmission line to be co- located within an existing 115kV transmission line corridor between the southern end of Segment 1 near the north end of Moxie Pond in The Forks Plt, through the towns of Caratunk and Bald Mountain TWP T2 R3, to the Wyman Hydroelectric Facility located in Moscow. The co-located section will require the existing 150’ wide corridor clearing to be widened by 75’ on the western side with the exception of a small section near the former Moscow Radar Station which will be widened by 75’ on the east side.
