	KENNEBEC RIVER PAGE
		The Kennebec River Basin is some 75 miles wide, drops 1000 feet, and drains approximately 6,000 square miles, or about 1/5 of the total state acreage.
		The river can still be fished but you'll be hanging onto the branches and roll casting unless you have a canoe or driftboat.
		It is the source of the Kennebec River, and is feed by famous fisheries such as the Moose River and the Roach River.

		The river was explored by Samuel de Champlain in 1604 and 1605.
		The river, then known as the Sagadahoc River, also marked the northern border of the 1622 land patent of the Province of Maine granted to Ferdinando Gorges and John Mason.
		A very few of the Kennebec River salmon are fish that were born in the main stem of the river or in its tributaries which enter below the dam in Augusta.

	Kennebec Indians
		The CUSSENOCKES dwelt in the vicinity of Augusta.
		The Kennebec River between Merry-meeting Bay and the ocean was called Sagadahoc, to honor the tribe of the same name that dwelled upon its shores.

	Fisheries Resources of the Kennebec River
		Early in the process of studying the lower Kennebec River for the purpose of compiling this report about its fishery resources, we learned there is one central--and surprising--problem facing all current users of the river.
		Among the rivers which got huge infusions of tax dollars to create sewage treatment plants was the Kennebec and this--along with changes in paper-making technology--resulted in rapid cleanup of the Kennebec in the early 1980's.
		During the summer of 1984, a study of the Kennebec River was conducted by the Maine Department of Conservation (DOC).

	Kennebec River Outfitters - Serving the Middle/Upper Kennebec River Valley
		Quietly, the Kennebec River has become what is unquestionably the finest and most diverse cold-water fishery in all of New England.
		With wild "native" brook trout and landlocked salmon in the upper river, wild rainbows, stocked browns and smallmouth in the middle river, and sea-run stripers, shad, alewives, sturgeon and atlantic salmon in the lower river, the Kennebec could be called the "Yellowstone of the East"!
		In addition, the river is open year-round from the dam in Madison down providing some of the only reliable winter open water trout fishing in the state.

	Wild Atlantic Salmon in Kennebec River, Maine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Scott's report of adult salmon in the Kennebec each year from 1962 to 1970 is problematic since it is unlikely all of the salmon sighted (and according to Scott, frequently poached by workers at the Hudson Paper mill) in the Kennebec in those years could have resulted from strays from stocking in the Penobscot.
		This exclusion occured although the river drainage is included in the geographic bounds of the DPS and USFandWS field staff have documented and collected genetic samples from nearly 200 wild Atlantic salmon in the Kennebec River drainage in 1994, 1995 and 1996.
		The durability of the Kennebec Atlantic salmon stock is illustrated by the fact that even 50 years after the construction of the impassable dam in 1837 at the rivers' head of tide, a remnant population still persisted in the rivers' lower reaches sufficient to provide an incidental commercial catch of 100-500 fish annually (Goode 1887).

	Trout Unlimited - Press Releases 1999 - Trout Unlimited
		The Kennebec is the largest river in the United States ever to benefit from a dam removal and Edwards Dam is among the largest dams ever removed in the nation.
		The Kennebec Coalition was formed in 1989 with the goal of removing the Edwards Dam and restoring the Kennebec River.
		Populations of 10 species of migratory fish in the Kennebec are expected to benefit as a result of the Edwards Dam removal.

	Kennebec Dam Removal - Freeing Maine's Kennebec River
		The Kennebec River, which drains one-fifth of the state of Maine, is comparable only to Hudson River and Chesapeake Bay in its importance as a fish spawning ground.
		Unique along the New England Coast, the Kennebec River flows into a large estuary which connects with other tidal rivers, creating a multitude of salt marshes and islands that protect and nourish juvenile fish.
		Extraordinarily rich in aquatic life, the Kennebec once provided a migratory route and spawning grounds for virtually every Northeastern species of anadromous fish—ocean-dwelling fish that come up rivers to spawn—from sturgeon to salmon.

	Kennebec River Ice Monitoring
		The web cam on the Kennebec River at Augusta serves as a continuous visual representation of the status of the river in the most flood prone river reach in Maine.
		Although several historic ice jam floods have occurred in the lower Kennebec River basin, these are the first known freeze up jams in the Augusta area, and have caused increased awareness of the potential for spring ice-jam flooding.
		Historically, the occurrence of ice jams on the lower Kennebec River, near Swan Island, have increased the magnitude and severity of spring flooding on the river, including in the towns of Hallowell and Gardiner, Maine (down river of Augusta, Maine).

		The study focuses on the mainstem of the Kennebec River and not on tributaries; tributaries are considered as point-source contributors to the mainstem.
		Eight major wastewater treatment operations or industrial facilities discharge directly to the Kennebec River in the study area; of these discharges, three are municipal, three are industrial, and two are municipal with industrial contributions comprising a majority of the total wastewater flows (table 1).
		River samples are analyzed for E. coli bacteria because the District has combined sewer overflows; this monitoring is required as part of their discharge permit.

		"The renewed health of the Kennebec River confirms a simple, but powerful, idea: that dams whose costs outweighed their benefits should be removed," stated TU President Charles Gauvin.

	Sierra: Thoreau's Dream - preserving the Kennebec river area
		Until 1976 the public couldn't use rivers like the upper Kennebec because they were reserved for the paper industry as conduits to get logs to downriver mills, and it couldn't use the lower rivers either because effluent from the mills rendered the water a health hazard.
		At Indian Pond, where the scouts and I hauled out, and again at West Forks, where the river falls and spreads from a brawling run, the logs used to be corralled by booms in huge rafts that covered nearly every surface acre for the 35 miles to Solon.
		Along the lower Kennebec, where the paper mills swilled logs and belched sulfurous bile, the odor took on a new character--basically boiled cabbage gone bad.
