The Maine Department of Environmental Protection says the relicensing of a hydroelectric dam in Ellsworth is up on both state and federal ends.
Dozens came out to Ellsworth High School Tuesday to have their voices heard by those who work with Maine D-E-P about the process. The DEP will make the decision in March of 2020 on whether to approve or deny Black Bear Hydro Partners proposal.
Some are worried about turbidity and fish passage. Folks also voiced their concerns about Graham Lake’s varying water levels.
