The Maine Department of Marine Resources will withdraw an amendment to its Kennebec River Management Plan that suggests removing four dams from the Kennebec River between Waterville and Skowhegan. We are suspending the current proposed rule making, DMR spokesman Jeff Nichols said Friday. We’re doing this after reviewing comments on the proposed rule and conducting a review of DMR’s authority to undertake fisheries management plans.
The department will take the time necessary to determine the best path forward for the adoption of a new management plan that establishes an appropriate long-term vision for this river’s fishery resources, Nichols told Mainebiz.
