Earthquake Investigations At The Dickey-Lincoln School Damsites, Maine, Ellis L. Krinitzsky, David M. Patrick Jan 1977

Earthquake Investigations At The Dickey-Lincoln School Damsites, Maine, Ellis L. Krinitzsky, David M. Patrick

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The Dickey-Lincoln School damsites are less than 50 miles from an area along the St. Lawrence River which has experienced some of the most severe earthquakes in North America. A geological and seismological investigation was made of the region in order to determine the hazards from earthquakes at the damsites. No active faults were found in the general area of the damsites. The source area of potentially severe earthquakes was found to be restricted to a narrow band that follows the St. Lawrence River. This band was designated as Zone A. The boundary of Zone A is located U5 miles …


Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Hydroelectric Project : Summary Of Water Quality Factors, New England Division, U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Jan 1977

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Hydroelectric Project : Summary Of Water Quality Factors, New England Division, U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The prediction of future water quality conditions in and downstream from a proposed impoundment is dependent upon a myriad of physical, chemical and biological phenomena. It is known from limnology (science of lakes) that all physicochemical and biological functions are greatly controlled or influenced by lake hydro-dynamics, lake thermodynamics, and the quality of inflowing water.

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project At Dickey, Maine : Draft Environmental Impact Statement, New England Division, United States Army Engineer Division

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

This draft EIS address the impacts of the dams and appurtenant structures. The marketing and transmission of power from Federal projects are the statutory responsibility of the Department of the Interior. Accordingly, they are conducting transmission line studies in the preparation of a draft EIS. The draft EIS for transmission line and marketing is scheduled to be submitted to the Council on Environmental Quality in February 1978. Both drafts will be combined and submitted as a Final Environmental Impact Statement in August 1978.

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix C: Social And Economic Assessment, Edward C. Jordan, Roger Creighton

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The purpose of this assessment of the social and economic impact of implementing the Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project, therefore, is not to flatly predict impacts. Rather, the intent is to provide information and judgments which can help people recognize the potential for changes and take appropriate steps to prepare for, accommodate, and adjust to those changes. Thus we hope that this report's success will be measured by how well it provides information with which local citizens and all others involved in this project can proceed with their planning and decision-making processes.

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix H: Noise Impact Assessment, Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation, New England Division, United States Army Engineer Division

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The overall project area can be described as a very quiet natural area remote from any major industrial activity, but subject to high traffic noise levels along the main road. Noise sensitive areas consist of low density residential areas in the villages and widely spaced residences along the main road. The estimated yearly average Ldn for all noise sensitive areas 1s 60 dB due to the close proximity of traffic to all residences. The yearly average Ldn decreases to 40 dB at 600 ft from the main road, and to 30 dB 1n the timberland areas.

Social Impact Summary : Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project / Prepared For The Department Of The Army, Corps Of Engineers, New England Division, Edward C. Jordan Company, Inc.

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The Dickey-Lincoln Hydroelectric Dam is a water resources project proposed by the Federal Government (U. S. Army Corps of Engineers). Therefore, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the Corps of Engineers is required to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on the project. A federal plan or project such as Dickey-Lincoln should take into account its effect upon man's health, safety, welfare and economic well-being, as well as effects upon the surrounding environment. More importantly, project plans should be evaluated in a "manner calculated to encourage harmony between man and his environment." In other words, project plans or …

Transmission Reconnaissance Study : Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project, United States Department Of Interior

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

Two dams are proposed on the St. John River in northern Maine: Dickey, a high earth filled dam immediately above the confluence of the Allagash with the St. John, will have an installed generating capacity of 760 MW; and Lincoln School Dam, 11 miles downstream, a capacity of 70 MW. These dams are scheduled for completion during the mid 1980's. The U.S. Corps of Engineers, New England Division, has been allocated funds to design the project and prepare their own environmental impact statement. This report (Transmission Reconnaissance Studies) discusses alternative transmission facilities needed to connect the project with the New …
