Public Notice

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is seeking matching federal funds under the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act for a proposed Brook Trout and Native Fish Restoration and Enhancement Program.  This program will target various lakes and ponds around the state for reclamation with rotenone to remove invasive fish species, which will allow the restoration/enhancement of native fish species.  In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, an Environmental Assessment evaluating the impact of the program has been prepared.  This is a Programmatic EA and no specific waters are proposed for treatment under this EA.  All future water bodies proposed for treatment will include a public review process for that specific water as part of the environmental permitting process required by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

A copy of the Draft Programmatic EA is posted on the Department’s web site in PDF format, or a written copy may be obtained by contacting the main office in Augusta or any of the seven regional offices.  Persons wishing to submit comments regarding this proposal should write to:

James Pellerin
Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
358 Shaker Road
Gray, Maine 04039
Email: james.pellerin@maine.gov

All comments must be received by 5:00 PM February 29, 2008.
