UPSTREAM PASSAGE
| RIVER/TRIBUTARY | DAM REQUIRING FISH PASSAGE | REMARKS |
| Kennebec River | Edwards Dam (FERC #2389) | A fish passage, sorting, & transportation facility is requested for completion by the spring of 1987. |
| Sebasticook River | Halifax Dam (FERC #2552) | Fish passage, trapping & sorting facility requested to be operational by May 1, 1999. |
| Benton Falls Dam (FERC #5073) | Fish passage requested to be operational by May 1, 1999. | |
| Burnham Hydro Dam | Fish passage is requested to be operational by May 1, 2000. | |
| Upstream fish passage on all tributary dams to Sebasticook River deferred until May 1, 2000. The feasibility of permanent trap & truck for alewives in lieu of fish-ways in tributary dams to be evaluated during the 14 year period. | ||
| Kennebec River | Lockwood Dam (FERC #2574) | Fish passage, trapping & sorting facility requested to be operational by May 1, 1999. |
| Winslow Dam (FERC #2611) | Fish passage requested to be operational by May 1, 1999. | |
| Shavmut Dam (FERC #2322) | Fish passage requested to be operational bv May 1, 2000. | |
| Weston Dam (FERC #2325) | Upstream fish passage requested to be operational by May 1, 2001. | |
| Sandy River | Madison Electric Works Das | Fish passage requested to be operational by May 1, 2002. |
| Upstream passage for dams on the Wesserunsett Stream drainage deferred until 2G01. Upstream passage for tributary dams on the Sandy River are deferred until 2003. The feasability of permanent trap & truck for alewives in lieu of fishways to be evaluated during this time period. | ||
| When a dam is redeveloped the dam owner should seriously consider installing fish passage facilities at the time of redevelopment to prevent costly retrofitting. As a minimum, the dam owner is requested to prepare a conceptual design of the fish passage facility (ies) for review by the state & federal fisheries agencies & to include appropriate provisions during redevelopment in order to preclude costly retrofitting. |
DOWNSTREAM PASSAGE
Permanent downstream passage is requested to be operational at the following dams on the specified dates:
| Edwards Dam (FERC #2389) | 1987 |
| Halifax Dam (FERC #2552) | 1991 |
| Benton Falls Dam (FERC #5073) | 1991 |
| Burnham Hydro Dam | 1991 |
| Pioneer Dam (FERC #8736) | 1991 |
| Waverly Avenue Dam (FERC #4293) | 1991 |
Until permanent downstream passage facilities are operational, it is requested that the dam owners provide interim downstream measures such as controlled spills, directed .flows through a slot in the flashboards, etc. These temporary measures are requested for those dams listed above once anadromous fish have been stocked above them and for the following dams after 1993:
Lockwood Dam (FERC #2574)
Hydro-Kennebec (FERC #2611)
Shawmut (FERC #2322)
Weston (FERC #2325)
Madison Electric Works Dam
Permanent downstream passage facilities for the Lockwood Dam (FERC #2574), Hydro-Kennebec (FERC #2611), Shawmut (FERC #2322), Weston (FERC #2325), and Madison Electric Works Dam are requested to be operational at the same dates as required for upstream passages.
