The architecture of the -towns is typically colonial New England. With forests and fields stretching back into the hinterlands, the shoreline is only sporadically dotted with summer camps and a few year round homes. In any major re- finery development in the area, the four towns of Machiasport, Machias, East Machias and Roque Bluffs would be immediately in- volved. All of the surrounding towns, includinR but not limit- ed to Whitneyville, Marshfield, Jonesboro and Cutler, undoubted- ly would feel the impact and must be included in any study. The chart below gives a quick summation of the population and land area of the four principal towns. The annexed map pinpoints location of the general area. TOWN LAND AREA IN SQUARE MILES 1960 1966 East Machias 1,198 971 33.7 Machias 2,614. 2,328 15.2 Machiasport 980 1J.368 21.7 Roque.Bluffs 152 135 10.3 In its natural setting it constitutes a pretty picture. Viewed economically, on the other hand, the scene is just about reversed. The entire economy is depressed and is typical of Washington County as a whole. The entire county, indeed, is one 2 of the most depressed in all of New England. The effective buyinU + income in 1967 was $1 969 per canita. This is 15% below the state average of $2,303 and 33'0-below the New England average of $2,939. Approximately 52'0 of the households in the county have an imcome of less than $5,000, compared to 37% for the st-ate. About one- third of the households, or 2,650, have an income within the poverty class (under $3,000). The unemployment average during C, 1967 for Washin gton County wa@ 1,100 people, which was 11.5% of the work force. This compares to unemployment in the United States of 3.9'0 and the Maine average of 3.9'0 for the same period. A further noteworthy aspect of the area is the lack of community V4 and recreational facilities. There is little e Ldence of resi- dential construction activity, which is to be expected. However, most of the existing housing units are quite old and there is lit- tle available housing in the immediate area. There is no shopping center in the vicinity. Recreational facilities are at a minimum, largely consisting of public beaches, two theaters and a bowling alley. There are no golf courses, no nearby skiing facilities, no community building, no YMCA, no public parks and no tennis courts. No.zoning or subdivision, urban renewal programs, or sewer and water study programs exist. No treatment facilities are in being and all raw sewage is simply discharged.into the Machias River or surrounding tidal waters. The public water supply.is managed by the Machias Wate r Company. The distribu- tion system is concentrated in the village serving two-thirds of the population, which stood at 2,328 in 1966. Average demand today, at 185,000 gallons per day, represents 30'0 of capacity. 3 The sewerage system, which s erves 90% of the popula tion, is a combined storm water and sanitary waste system. There is currently no treatment facility, and all sewage is discharged into the Machias River. Thus a sewage treatment plant would have to be constructed which would treat wastes both from the new town and the existing village area. This phase o f the planning would have to consider whether it would be feasible to incorporate the Machiasport refinery and industrial com- plex into this new system or to have separate facilities. Two major considerations of this planning effort would be the geographical separation of the town and the indu strial complex and the types of discharges, and the necessary treat- ment thereto, that can be expected from the refinery and as- sociated industrial act ivitv. In any case, it is extremely important that proper planning be undertaken to ensure that proper treatment is provided to avoid any pollution of tidal waters. II PROPOSED REFINERY ACTIVITIES In September of 1968 the Occidental Petroleum Company anno.unced their intentions to construct a refi-nery and a petro- chemical complex at Machiasport. As they would be using foreign oil, they applied in October to the Foreign Trade Zone Board in order to have Machiasport desi'gnated as a free trade zone and subsequentl@ filed for import quotas for 100,000 barrels per day. As a result of the hearings held in February, 1968, 4 The Nixon Administration announced the establishment of a Special Oil Import Policy Review Board to be headed by Secretary of Labor Schultz. The Secretary's report was even- tuallv filed in late 1969. No action, howeverP has resulted. Duriniz -this period, the Atlantic World Port announced their- intentions to operate a similar oil refinery complex at Machiasport and also applied for the special federal consid- erations. In the same period the Atlantic R ichfield Co. CARCO) announced that they had options on two 3,500-acre sites in the area with intended purpose of operating from the St. Regis Paper Company for the 100,000 barrel per day refinery, with domestic crude from their oil fields on the Alaskan North Slope and, therefore are not in need of any federal rulings. ARCO parti- cipated last year with the Humble Oil & Refining Company in the Manhattan Project to determine the feasibility of bringing oil through the Northwest Passage. This project was completed and various -reports concluded that it was an outstanding.success. There also appears to be, at this time, several other firms with an interest in this area, with one in particular seeking'9ptions on some 7,500 acres of land. It would therefore appear that there will be some sort of oil refinery and petrochemical devel- ODment in this area. III THE NEED FOR THE STUDY, In all of the announcements by the various oil companies no definitive action has been forthcoming. Each firm, for their 5 own individual reasons, has placed-various conditions upon their finaliza@ion of construction plans. Unfortunately any future an- nouncements will leave the relatively small communities of the area that are already lacking in fiscal and human resources, to- tally unable to cope with the Situation which may be thrust upon them. The need for planning and the obvious lack of definition concerning the project will require a staged or sequential effort. It is also anticipated that due to availability of financial re- sources the study will have to be undertaken on a staaed effort. In general, it would seem that the approach to this needed study would be a series of overlapping phases. Initially, an overall economic impact study would be in order. This would flow naturally into a definition of the overall land devel opment policy. From these two general efforts studies concerned with detailed planning and design of facilities and programs should evolve. A certain amount of this planning effort should be con- ducted. well before any definitive action is taken that is now being contemplated by the oil companies involved. In defining the various stages it should be clearly noted that each of the separate phases would be separately financed as money becomes available. The initial study would be funded by a private group whereas additional studies might well be financed by federal, state dnd private grants or.some combin- ation of the three. It should be noted that the Eastern Maine 6 Development District (EMDD) has an application pending with the-- Economic Development Administration CEDA) for the entire study effort. EDA has stated that they cannot expend funds on this project until a firm action is forthcoming from one of the oil companies. 7 T\\ I A I N 1E County Base Map wiih R.9droad @yrism and h1scied Highwayr . . ............ i C A I f.

In considering an application for an aquifer area use permit, the Planning Board will evaluate the immediate and long-range impact of the proposed use upon the maintenance of safe and healthful conditions. In making such and evaluation, the Board will consider such factors as: 1. The amount and type of wastes to be generated by the proposed use and the adequacy of the- proposed disposal system. 2. The capability of the land and water to sustain such use without dregradation. 3. Topography and drainage of the site and susceptibility to flooding. 4. The need of a particular location for the proposed use. The Board may consult with aquifer experts prior to making its decision. 16 MACHIASPORT9 MAINEDRAFT AQUIFER PROTECTION ORDINANCE Section 1: Puroose It is the intent of this Ordinance to protect the groundwate-r resources of Jonesboro from contaminents which can reasonably be expected to accompany certain adverse uses of the land and thereby to preserve the quantity, and quality of. this resource-for present and future use by individuals, corporations, public bodies, and others. Section H: Scooe and Authority A. Within the boundaries of the Aquifer Protection Areas, comprising aquifers, recharge areas, and certain adjacent protective strips, as set forth in this Ordinance, no land shall be used, treated or sprayed except in conformity with the provisions of this Ordinance. S. This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Title 30, M.R.S.A., Section 4962; Article Vill - A of the Maine State Constitution and Title 30, M.R.S.A., Section 1917. Section III: Definitions Animal Feedlot: A plot of land on which 25 livestock or more per acre are kept for the purposes of feeding. Aquifer: Geologic formation composed of rock or sand and gravel that contains significant amounts of potentially producible potable water. Groundwater: All water found beneath the surface of the ground. In this Ordinance the term refers to the slowly moving subsurface water present in aquifers and recharge areas. Leachable Wastes: Waste materlars including solid wastes, sludge, and agricultural wastes that are capable of releasing water borne contaminants to the surrounding environment.' Minina of Land: The removal of geologic materials such as topsoil, sand and gravel, metaillic ores, or bedrock to be crushed or used as building stone. Non-Conforming Use: Any building or land lawfully occupied by a use at the time of passage of the Ordinance or amendment thereto which does not conform after the passage of this Ordinance or amend-nent thereto with the regulations of the district in which it is situated. Recharge Area:' Areas composed of porous sand and gravel, or other areas, that.collect precipitation or surface water and carry it to aquifers. Sludae: Residual materials produced by water and sewage treatment processes and domestic septic tanks. 17 Structure: Anything constructed or erected, except a boundary wall or fence, ro -the use of which requires location on the ground or attachment to something an the ground. For the purposes of this Ordinance, buildings are structures. Solid Wastes: Useless, unwanted, or discarded solid material with insufficient liquid content to be free flowing. This includes but is not limited to rubbish, garbage, scrap materials, junk, refuse, inert fill material and landscape refuse. Section IV: Regulations A. Establishment and Delineation of Aquifer Protection Areas: For the purposes of this Ordinance, there are hereby established certain Aquifer Protection Areas, consisting of aquifers and/or aquifer recharge areas, which are delineated on a map at a scale of I inch to 1,000 feet entitled "Water Protection AReas: Town of Jonesboro". This map is an integral part of this Ordinance and. shall be filed at the Town Office and at the County Registry' of Deeds of Washington County. As delineated on the Map, the Aquifer Protection Areas comprise the following elements: 1. Aquifers, together with: a. the surface of the land lying above them , and b. a surrounding protective strip, approximately 250 feet in width, so drawn that its bounds can be definitly established upon the site. 2. Recharge areas, defined by the extent of the sand and gravel deposits and wetlands within them that drain into the aquifer, together with: a. a surrounding protective strip, approximately 100 feet in width so drawn that its bounds can be definitly established upon the site. b.. the shorelands, to a constant depth, of any stream that flows into the recharge area. Where the bounds as delineated are in doubt or in dispute, the burden of proof shall be upon the owner(s) of the land in question to show where they should properly be located. At the request of the owner(s), the Town may engage 6 professional geologist or soil scientist to determine more accurately the location and extent of an aquifer or recharge area, and may charge the owner(s) for all or part of the cost of the investigation. B. Use Regulations: Within the Water Protection Areas, these regulations shall apply: 2. Prohibited Uses a. disposal of solid wastes, other than brush and stumps b. s*torace and/or transmission of petroleum or other refjn@d petroleum product's C. the dis 'posal of liquid or leachable wastes except one or two family residential sub-surface waste-. disposal systems d. the rendering impervious of more than 10% of any lot 3. Conditional Uses The following uses are permitted by Conditional-Use Permit: that is, subiect to the approval of the Planning Board, with such conditions as ;hey may attach to their approval. The Code Enforcement Officer shall issue the Conditional-Use Permit. a. storace of road salt, provided that the salt is kept under cover and on a pad b. septic tank, sewage disposal field, or any enlargement or alteration thereof for one and two family residential dwellings c. manure pile and manure storage pit d. animal feedlot e. the flooding or mining of land f. cemetery 9. spraying or spreading of chemical fertilizers or pesticides after approval by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Soil Conservation Service. 4. Non-Conforming Uses A non-conforming use may be continued and/or expanded by not more than a 25-14 increase in the orioinal structure, floor space, bulk or size, or land area as exist@ng at the effective date of this Ordinance and may be replaced or repaired, with the approval of the Planning Board, if the Boarc believes that the continued or expanded use will not be more detrimental to the protected areas. A non- conforming use which has been discontinued for 18 months may not be resumed. Allowed Uses Any use which is neither prohibited or permitted by Conditional-Use permit is allowed. C. Space Standards 1. Minimum Lot Size: 4 acres 2. Minimum Frontage: 200 feet 3.. Maximum Building Height: 35 feet 4.

Minimum land area per dwelling unit or mobile home.: 4 acres 6. Maximum lot coverage with I Oaf impervious surfaces: D. Variance in Space Standards There shall be no variances granted in this Ordinance exceeding a 15% reduction in minimum lot size or minimum land area.per dwelling unit or mobile home. Section V. Administration and Enforcement and Violations A. Use Permits:' No use shall be conducted within an Aquifer Protection Area until the use has been approved by the Planning Board and a Use Permit has been issued. The application for a Use Permit shall be submitted to the Planning Board and accompanied by a site plan showing the location and dimensions of all significant structures and uses present and proposed. A reasonable fee established by the Planning Board may be required to accompany the application to cover processing costs. In the event that the Planning Board determines to hold a public hearing on an application, it shall hold such hearing within 30 days of receipt by it of a completed appli- cation, and shall cause notice of the date, time and place of such hearing to be given to the person making the application and to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality at least two times, the date of the first publication to be at least seven days prior to the hearing. The Planning Board shall, within 30 days,of a public hearing or within 60 days of receiving a completed application, if no hearing is held, @or within such other time limit as may be otherwise mutually agreed to issue an order denying or granting approval of the application. Both the approval and the denial of an application for a Use Permit by the Planning Board shall be in writing and shall state the reason for that decision. A copy shall be given to the applicant. In considerating an application for a Conditional-Use Permit, the Planning Board shall evaluate the immediate and long-range impact of the proposed use on the groundwater and the possible effects of the proposed use upon the maintenance of safe and healthful conditions. The applicant shall, based upon information from the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District, a licensed soils scientist or other recognized professional, provide the Board with the following informations: 1.

Study Objectives This report documents the findings of a first phase environmental planning study .of the Machias Region. The objectives of the Study were: 1. To initiate the first step of a comprehensive planning program by providing a broad overview of the land and water resources of the Machias Region. 2. To develop broad environmental planning criteria which would assist town of- ficials and concerned public agencies to plan wisely for the future growth of the Region. ,rhe Study Area The original proposal for this study, written in June, 1970, identified the watersheds of the Machias, East Machias, and Chandler Rivers as the land area which should be stud- ied in terms of natural resources. These watersheds, which total approximately 750 square miles in area, were further divided into four "impact zones. " These zones were defined in terms of the relative intensity of development which could be expected if a major industrial complex were to locate in the Machias Bay area. The Study Area for this first phase of work is approximately the same as "Impact Zone I" as originally de- fined. The Study Area includes Machias, Little Machias, Cutler, and Little Kennebec Bays, and the watershed of the Machias and East Machias Rivers as far north as, and including, Gardner and Hadley Lakes. The approximate area of this Zone is 200 square miles. Findings Budgetary constraints, and a lack of readily us0able, detailed natural resources data have necessitated a broad level of analysis and criteria development. Future phases of the Study would provide detailed criteria which cannot at this time be developed. Several basic findings have, however, emerged from this first phase study. First, it is clear that the Area enjoys a natural environment of high quality and great beauty. The inland and coastal waters are especially valuable, and have considerable potential as recreational resources. A-13 A. Title: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MAP B. Source: Slope map, Soils map, basic topographic and watershed interpretation C. Legend: D. Interpretation: 'I'lie basic intent and structure of the Environmental Impact criteria have already been described. General characteristics and planning implications of the Major Watershed Systems have also been documented. The intent here will be to ex- plain the rating system which was used to evaluate the sensitivity of the suh- watersheds of each major Watershed System. Two kinds of Information are provided on the following pages. First, the impact rating of each of the five Land Use Types is given for both "controllable" and "uncontrollable" sub-watersheds. Second, the "Relative Environmental Irnpor.- tance" of the sub-watersheds within each major Watershed System is indicated by listing the sub-watersheds in rank order. 1. Impact Ratings: The intent of the impact ratings is to identify the relative probable impact of the five land use types on each of the sub-watersheds. Ratings are given as "Fligh, " "Medium" or "Low" impact. It was found that the most conven- ient way to assign impact ratings was first to divide the suh-watersheds of each major Watershed System into two groups: "control lable" and "un- controllable. The impacts of large-scale development on "controllable" watersheds will not necessarily be less than impacts on "uncontrollable" watershuds. Tile "controllable" watersheds, however, by definition offer the possibility of localizing many of the adverse effects of development. (Cf. definitions - p. 26) In view of this fact, most of the impact ratings assigned to "con-. AN trollable" watersheds are lower than the ratings for "uncontrollable" watersheds. For the "uncontrollable" watersheds, the impact ratings vary according to the relation of the particular sub-watershed to the overall water sys- tem. Factors considered include: proximity to sensitive downstream areas, special importance (visual quality, water supply, etc.), self-. cleansing ability of related lake, rive r, or bay. The five Land Use Types have already been defined. (Cf. p. 16) In iden- tifying the relative probable impact of each Land Use Type oil each Sub- watershed, general kinds of impacts were considered. These included: soil erosion, soil compaction, stripping of vegetation, reduction of ground- water recharge capability, grading, paving, increased storin-water rml- off, salt and oil pollution of runoff, discharge of wastes, and visual dis- ruption. Recreation will, of course, have the lowest impact (sollic soil compaction and erosion); Heavy Industry the highest (mass grading, large areas of ground coverage, discharge of industrial wastes, soil erosion, high visual impact, etc.). It should be clearly understood that this approach to impact evaluation de- pends upon "best professional judgment. " A more sophisticated approach would entail tile development of models, which could evaluate variOLIS po- tential impacts with some degree of mathematical accuracy. 2. Relative Environmental Importance; All sub-watersheds within each of the major Watershed Systems have been rank-ordered according to all estimate of their "relative environmental fill- portance. " A nurnerical "Importance Index" which would assign a specific value to each sub-watershed would be desirable, but is far beyond tile scope of this phase. In order to determine relative environmental impor- tance, four major factors were considered: A-lb 14W I Infiltration Score -- All possible soil type/slope combinations were given a "score" indicating their relative effectiveness in allowing pre- cipitation to infiltrate the soil. Soil type/slope units were then mapped, and area in acres of each unit measured. Each of these units was given a value by multiplying the area in acres by the infil- tration score for the type of unit. A total "Infiltration Score" was then derived for each sub-watershed by summing the values for all soil/slope units within the particular sub-watershed. 7be "Infiltration Score" thus derived indicates the relative importance of sub-watersheds in terms of groundwater storage. Illgh capability for groundwater storage will also often mean a relatively high stream- flow during critical summer low flow periods. 2. Area of Sub-Watershed -- Area in acres was also considered as a separate, important variable. A large sul)-watershed will Obv iously contribute more water to the overall water system than a small one. CO 3. Proximity to Important or Sensitive Downstream Systems -- especially lakes and bays. A watershed which is relatively remote from a sell- sitive downstream system will have less impact on that system than will a watershed directly related to the particular system. This is generally true because of the capacity of streams to cleanse themselves to some degree of sediments and organic wastes. T1us, the longer the reach of a stream before confluence with a pollution-sensitive water body, the lower the level of possible adverse impact. 4. Special Importance of Sub-Watershed For wateir supply, visual amenity, recreational potential. A-* SUMMARY OF IMPACT RATINGS AND RE LATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPORTANCE OF SUB-WATERSHED 1.

The Commission resolution stated that *(a) the establishment of a foreign trade zone in Machias, Maine, and (b) the development within the zone of a major industrial complex, which is designed, in part, to increase substantially the supply of scarce heating fuels for New England consumers, can offer substantial economic benefits for the entire New England Region . . . 0, and reserved up to $500, 000 to assist in providing the public facility improvements necessary to carry out the planned industrial development complex. The project, which envisages a foreign trade zone at Portland and a subzone at Machiasport, was developed and sponsored by Governor Kenneth M. Curtis of Maine. We believe that the establishment of an Atlantic World Fort and the development of the industrial complex planned within the Fort offers great potential for revitalizing a historically depressed area of the Region and, at the same time, bringing important economic benefits to New England and the Nation as a whole. We are pleased to present in the following pages a brief description of the project by Governor Curtis. i Jo n W..

Although various proposals for management or development of these parcels have been made, the boundaries need to be established before going ahead on-specific site plans. During the past year, using funds provided by the State Planning Office through the Federal Coastal Zone Management Program, the town contracted with a surveyor to run out the lines and set monuments for each parcel . Then the Se lectmen and the Washington County Regional Planning Commission met to discuss alternative management proposals for the parcels. At the time of the 1980 town meeting, the survey work had not progressed to the point where alternative management proposals could be pre- pared. Soon after the meeting the parcels were evaluated and discussed by the Selectmen among themselves and with others in town. The Selectmen then authorized the Commis- sion staff to prepare a preliminary plan for the Sanborn Cove lot. This report discusses the proposals for each site and the plan for Sanborn Cove. 1. The Town Garage Lot This parcel which is locat6d at the head of Sanborn Cove, contains 1.6 acres, more or less. This lot is the site 54 of the town's garage, road-sand stockpile and open storage of 'various town items. Each of these activities has the potential of polluting the cove, and care should be taken to assure that they do not. Pollution could occur from careless oil-changes or from leaching of salt from the road-sand into the gr ound water. It appears that the present use for this lot is appropriate for the future, with improvements being made as needed. 2. Town Pier Lot This parcel was found to include the actual site of the boat launching ramp and very little additional land. This is the site of the pier for which a feasibility study was completed last year. It.is also adjacent to the Erosion Control Pro- ject which will be studied next year, and lands owned by the Machiasport Historical Society. Although the town parcel is quite small, the town and the Society are negotiating for conveyance of some of the Society's land to the town so that it will have a clear right to under- take the contemplated project. Detailed recommendations for a crib-type landing are contained in the report published last year. Detailed recommendations for Erosion Control, Historic Preservation, and recreation uses will be developed next year. Each of these proposed projects were considered as part of this study. They appear to completely compatible. The Sanborn Cove Lot The Town of Machiasport recently was gi-ven the "Sanborn Lot", a parcel of land at the end of Fort O'Brien Point adjacent 55 to the Fort O'Brien Elementary School property, both of which front on the west shore of Machias Bay just south of the Fort O'Brien State Park. The town property consists of 4.5 acres with 1070' along the normal high water mark. It is approachable from the water but has no road access. To eliminate the need for a costly and environmentally degrading entrance road the existing school parking area could serve both pur- poses. The majority of use would be during non-school periods. Suggested development would be primarily in the form of a trail system. A roofed shelter would be the only permanent structure. The land behind the school will be laid-out to best encourage the interpretation of the existing environmental and natural resources. These may include various landforms, vegetative types, the effects of tidal action, estuarine communities, biological and ecological factors, etc. This trail will be mostly educational for school classes or other interested groups. Access to the town property could be by a path originating at the school. Secondary approach may use an easement over priv-ate property on the west boundary. The trail system here will be informal but will be laid out to compliment the natural influences. There would also be fixed access routei to the water from the top of a 40' bluff extending along the south and much of the 56 east faces. These routes are necessary to reduce to the extent possible, erosion from human and natural sources. In addition to the trails approximately 10 picnic tables and grills will be placed on a scenic promantory--over- looking the bay. A shelter could also be located-at this site and would consist of a roofed platform with two fireplaces on a central chimney. This may be useful to picnickers but also for presentations or nature talks during inclement weather. NOTE: The town solid waste facility site was also surveyed as a part of the project in order to verify the distance from its boundaries to water bodies and streams and ensure that it was in conformance with regulations in this regard. The town is continuing with operating plans for this 13.5 acre facility independent of this report. 57 NOTE.- MoS-r 0 f- IWE LOT W r .>,- .

JORDAN CO., INC. PORTLAND, MAINE 20991-00 59 I. SUMMARY A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The town of Machiasport has been utilizing a floating dock structure-to accommodate its local clamming and fishing operations. This type of structure is seasonal in use and vulnerable to damage from tides, ice and storm condi- tions. The town has determined that a municipal pier with the capability for handling truck traffic, available on a year- round basis to serve the public and potential commercial fishing traffic, is needed. -The town has re quested that a study be made of the engineering feasibility and costs of constructing such a pier at the site of.the previous town pier. B. SITE DESCRIPTION (See Drawing Nos. I and 2) The pier site is currently used by small commercial vessels and pleasure craft. Existing marine facilities include a recently-installed concrete boat launching ramp, a series of floats attached to pilingsi and the remains of previous piers. The land site consists of a sloped area facing two historic buildings (the Miller Store and the Gates Home) which have been selected for preservation. Autos and small trucks presently have access to the site by a gravel road which loops from the paved road to the pier site and back up between the buildings. Parking is limited and informal. C. MACHIASPORT PIER This report addresses the type of structure that the town of Machiasport has requested be investigated, i.e., a pile-supported fixed pier capable of 60. handling heavy truck traffic and berthing forces from commercial fishing vessels in the 60-ft range. The feasibility of constructing this type of structure on the proposed site has been investigated and verified from a structural standpoint. It should be noted, however, that the extreme tidal ranges combined with winter ice problems require a stronger, and therefore, more expensive struc- ture than would otherwise be required for this size pier. In weighing this higher initial cost (see Section IV, Cost Estimate; A, Fixed Pier) against the anticipated type and volume of use (see Appendix A; Part I, Preliminary Eco- nomic Assessment), it would appear that funding could not at this point be justified. For this reason we have added a brief study of a bulkhead as a more achievable method of upgrading port facilities. D. BULKHEAD Construction of a sheet-pile bulkhead would provide docking facilities for the small craft which presently utilize the site. At the same time the fill for the bulkhead would enable the parking area to be expanded to serve the Historical Society buildings, as well as fishing interests. Estimated cost of the bulkhead (see Section IV, Cost Estimate; B, Bulkhead Alternative) would be less than that pro jected for the fixed pier. If a fixed pier became fundable at a later date, it would be possible to modify the bulkhead to accept installation of such a pier. 61 WORKSHEET NO,?

BULIMAD ALTERNATIVE (See Drawing No. 6) While furtherinvestigatioa would be required, existing information indicates that a sheet-pile bulkhead could be designed and built to provide access for smaller vessels at all tide levels. Although the anticipated bulkhead design could not provide for berthing of large vessels, the possi- bility could be kept open for bulkhead modification to accept attachment of a pier with suitable berthing facilities for such vessels at a later date, should demand warrant it. Chief advantages of the bulkhead alternative are-that it could provide access for small vessels, more parking area than presently exists and be built at a lower cost than a pier. In the cost summary provided below, costs are based on prices as of July 31, 1979. For escalation we would recommend using 10 percent per year. 44 Preliminary Cost Summary: Bulkhead (see following worksheet) $165,000 Land Acquisition and Site Development Cost (road, parking,.etc.) 357000 2001000 Technical Services 26@400 $226,400 A cost reduction could be made by reducing the size of the bulkhead or by utilizing timber cribbing. Design and comparative costs for these alterna- tives have not been investigated. 64 loll > Lo I c 0 -n r 0 L 4 cn 0) 041 0 0 w w -W rp rpe %.- CA ML Ld" .0, m r-1: F5a@JT c --i5- Air Fr4t;)r-C=3W- C) PI a Fz% B-S -e-: Pi apt., ' ARO C.

DESIGN AND COST ESTIMATES FOR A WATERFRONT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR MACHIASPORT, MAINE NOVEMBER 1981 Conducted with funds from Coastal Zone Management Program Maine State Planning Office New England Coastal Oceanographic Group Cutler, Maine 04626 69 I. INTRODUCTION A. Background and Statement of the Problem A public dock and access ramp for Machiasport exist at the site of a former crib pier long since destroyed. This general area has been customarily used for local clamming and boat launching, principally for fishermen. During the summer a series of seven floats are attached to several driven pilings. These floats are removed to protect them from winter storms and ice flows. The 18-foot wide cement launch ramp is used year-round as is the adjacent area for parking vehicles while clamming in the lower flats. The entire parking area, save about 10 feet near Miller's Store and the Gates House, are rountinely flooded at spring high tides and even less space exists at storm tides. The area to the southeast of the town ramp is gradually being eroded leaving less useable vehicle turning and parking area. Any vehicles not moved in time become trapped or flooded. B. Project Description and Objectives In an effort to find an inexpensive solution to this problem, the Selectmen of Machiasport advertised for a design study. This report presents the studied candidate solutions and the recommended design and necessary materials. The design objectives were: 1) to develop a simple and inexpensive. plan to increase the waterfront area height above sea level while permiting use of the public ramp, and 2) to provide protection against continued water erosion of the area used by the local fishermen, 70 L L 7- L -lirrmu Z: I Ul kA Rl tA z TI pt t7L 1V MY .yv zw ................ aal aff mmr_ P, @jj 5."a rp @k- Stephen W Tibbetts consulting water resources engineer oak ridge road brunswick. maine 04011 207- 725-2667- MATERIALS AND COST =ESTIMA77 Machiagioort 'iaterfront Study Machias- port, Ma4ne Iterr, Numoer x Unit Cost Cost Uabions: 'Series 3CO, PVC coated *31 x 3t x 121 (",ode C) 25 71.25 1781.25 -3f x 31 x 61 (Code A) 29 38-74 1123-46 Sub-total gabions $ 2904-71 15% sha.-pping 435-70 Total gabions $ 3340-42 Plastic Filter Cloth: 250 square yards x $2.25 per yard 562.50 t on e (4 " t3o 8 5 8 cubic yerds x ;@8.00 per yard 1264-00 r a n,,j la rF i 11 -Ile 11:0 cubic yards x -t 00 per yard 600.00 4 Total materials cost $5766.92 75 LIBERTY HALL RESTORATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. GENERAL Liberty Town Hall was designed and built by Andrew R. Gilson of Machias In 1873. This large two story clapboard structure with a central square tower is an excellent example of the Italianate style of arch-itecture. The corners of the tower and first story of the building have woo*den quoins. The windows have heavy ornate lintels, and tower's denticulated cornice is supported by paired brackets. Each side of the tower has a pair of round headed apertures with a circular opening above. The roof of the bell tower has been remodelled. Liberty Hall faces east on Route 92, and has served as a center for social activities and meetings for many years. Liberty Hall is in active daily use as the Town Office. it is used for suppers by the Historical Society and other groups. Its great hall Js also used for recreational programs. This land-mark building means "Machiasport" to many people. The public will benefit directly from all of the work to be done. Rowever, repair of +he leaky belfrey which is threatening the entire structure, and retoration of the great hall once the leaking is fixed, will b6'of the gt-,eatest benefit. The town has consistently voted funds over the years for the maintenance of Liberty Hall and it is anticipated that it will continue to do so. How- ever, we have slowly fallen behind. The requested grant funds will enable us to catch up and the five-year maintenance management plan will be a guide for the future efforts so we can better keep up with the building's needs. 76 B. PROJECT WORK Work will begin within one month of the awarding of the grant. 1. Final Plans and Specifications. Based upon the preliminary cost estimates for the restoration needs a licensed engineer will prepare detailed plans and specifications conforming to Standards for Historic Preservation adopted y the U.S. Secretary of the Interior (sections relating to stabilization, preservation, restoration, and reconstruction) and the Maine Historic Restoration Standards (05-089, Chap. 74). The engineer will also prepare a specific maintenance management. plan for at least a'five year period. 2. Restoration Work Items. a. Repair belfry b.

Maine State Fish and Wildlife Services. 9. Is this area particularly valuable for research and educational activitles and if so why? Is there Interest or arp there any arrangemerts with educational and/or research Institutions to US-F, th- a r ea? This area is valuable for research and educational activities because it holds a wide variety of natural resources peculiar to the Coast of Maine. Yes, n definite interest. At the present time the University of Maine at MschiAs has instituted an environmental studies curriculum. The local secondary schools, including M-ichias High School and Washington Academy, are teaching marine biology courses. Suffolk University. 82 0 10. will. acquisition of this area protect a type of coastal land that is not already protected by other parks, refugees or sanctuaries? Yes. Acquisition of this sanctuary will be unique to the Coast Coast. 11. Are there any rare or unusual plants or animals found in this area? Is there anything else that makes the area unusually significant? For example, does the area have a great diversity of natural values? Yes. This is a significant nesting site of the common Eider duck which is the only nesting sea duck on the Eastern United States Coast. Maine is the only one of the lower 48 states which supports a large population of Eiders. One of the values is that it is a nesting site for many shore birds including: Artic Terns, Great Black Back Gulls, Herring Gulls, Great Blue Heron, Guillemots, Kingfishers. Also, non-shore birds such as: Eagles, Hawks and Owls. The intetidal area between Starboard Island Bar and the mainland is habitat for a variety of marine invertebrates. High diversity makesthis area an important collecting locality. 12. Is this proposed acquisiton going to protect an entire natural system or most of it? This proposed acquisition would protect most of this natural system with few exceptions. State regulations from the Game and Wildlife ordinances, as well as other state agencies protect the area. 13. Is there local support for this project? (Letters or or endorsements from local officials and groups help demonstrate this support.) Endorsements from local residents and officials has been very unusual. Private letters of support From individuals as well as groups, educational institutions, and landowners has been evident. In the town of Machiasport alone, there was support of over 350 signatures. (Please see Attached letters of support.) In addition, other letters are being sent directly to the state. 83 14. Can the conservation objective for this area be met with available resources? (There is a maximum of $3,000,000 avallatle for any one project.) Considering all of the objectives we have presented, from our point of view,we mny stay well within the budget. 15. Does the area receive multiple use? If so, of what kind and how much? Would the area provide access to the coast? The area has many uses: bird watching hiking geological study biological study photography observation of lobstering clamming dragging comercial fishing boating picnicing canoeing fishing (marine) recreational use plant study whale watching spiritual - philosophical values artists Journalism: writers, poets 16. Is conservation of this lacd compatible with the existing uses or the area? The existing uses of the area are entirely compatible with the concepts of conservation and designation of Machias Bay as an estuarine sanctuary.

January 21, 1981 In order to receive the nomination local support of the project must be in evidence. So far the State has received several letters from individuals supporting the idea. Would the R.P.C. be willing to send a letter of endorsement? Support from organizations such as yours is very important if designation of the subject area is to occur. I view the overwhelming local support of Jasper Beach protection as a comple- mentary indication of local support, however it is not as broadly focused as is necessary to this nomination process.

PURPOSE: This'newsletter is being 0 developed with the intent of keeping Machiasport residents informed about their most important resource, their natural resources. fhere will be a publication four times a year edited by the KC.C. If you have information that would add to the newsletter the M.C.C. members would be glad to include it MACHIASPORT QUAHOG RESEARCH PROJECT: Have you ever asked yourself; How old is a quahog when it is dragged? How old is a quahog when it spawns? How fast do they grow? How large a ,4Wuahog resource do,we actually have? How many rings a year show on the shell of a q-qahog? ese are but a few of the questions the 1,73chiasport Commission members asked themselves as they developed a grant request to the State Planning Office for funds to conduct a research project. The Dept. of Marine Resources through their technological advisor.,Phil Averill conducted a workshop for the fishermen in June. Some information was learned from this meeting.but it was obvious that we need to learn a lotmore in order to conserve the artica islandica or mahogany quahog in our bay, At the time of this newsletter the commission has learned that the town will receive $3..000 to conduct this research. We will be calling or many people to help rake the project work well. Goals have been established and the information we gather will be finalized in December. At that time the M.C.C. will draw up their suggestions for the D.M.R. as far as the type of regulations they think the state shoud adopt. There will be an important meeting in September of many knowledgeable scientists in our Town Hall. 'We will post the date and time soon. We hope that all residents will come to this meeting to ask questions and learn the answers to some of ours. This is an issue which encompasses more than just fishermen. MACHIASPORT HAS JOINED THE MAINE ASSOCIATION OF CONSERVATIONT CO"@ISSIONS Other towns in this county that are members are Gouldsboro,,Cherryfield.,Steuben.Whitneyvillb,,j By joining this association our town will gain support from mary conservation commissions in the state and have information constantly available of the conservation efforts that are in progress all over the state.

The 1984 CDBG Market Study determined that many Machias merchants - particularly automobile dealers, appliance sales and repair, and hardware and building supplies clientele come from a much larger geographic area - from Dennysville and Lubec to the east, and from Jonesport to Addison to the west. For purposes of this study, the State's summary area is used as Machias' PRIMARY trade area. The larger area, the SECONDARY trade area contains an additional 8,026 persons. The communities of the secondary area have virtually the same demographics as the primary area.

The basic assumption in these projects is that the population trend for a given town will be the same as from April 1980-July 1983. 10 MAINE TAXABLE SALES CONSUMER RETAIL SALES 3/25/88 ANNUAL REPORT 1987 (THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) ANNUAL TOTALS ANNUAL % CHANGE AREA - DISTRICT 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 83 - 87 86-87 STATE TOTAL ........ 4429059 5090708 5709977 6362236 7179076 13% 13% KITTERY ............. 131757 160687 190782 221696 262292 19 18 KENNEBUNK ........... 48988 56317 65001 82370 89930 16 9 BIDDEFORD ........... 173539 203710 238368 274475 311756 16 14 SANFORD ............. 85323 97222 113388 141762 151684 15 7 FRYEBURG ............ 13727 14948 16323 18480 21301 12 15 YORK DIST .......... 453335 532884 623863 738782 836963 17 13 PORTLAND . . ......... 730496 861053 969725 1053435 1168537 12 11 PORTLAND SUBURBAN ... 196779 234154 274997 327959 376913 18 15 SEBAGO LAKE ......... 80247 95559 117415 149925 1758561 22 17 CUMBERLAND DIST .... 1007523 1190766 1362136 1531319 1721305 14 12 LEWISTON . ............. 314320 355724 386861 426561 4767151 l1 12 LEWISTON SUBURBAN ... 17257 21096 25511 29002 353881 20 22 PARIS ............... 56911 62597 71595 76235 849771 11 11 RUMFORD ............. 40748 46559 52035 58752 68725 14 17 LIVERMORE FALLS ..... 23304 25960 26947 29068 312831 8 8 FARMINGTON .......... 52447 55035 58396 63184 790981 11 25 RANGELEY ............ 20466 26836 30475 32472 38620 17 19 ANDROSCOGGIN DIST.. 525452 593807 651822 715275 8148061 12 14 AUGUSTA ............. 239875 273732 305323 342271 385292 13 13 WATERVILLE .......... 201883 230588 261237 292068 319283 12 9 SKOWHEGAN ........... 63756 70832 89885 88309 1036651 13 17 PITTSFIELD ........... 21562 23918 26309 25539 300941 9 18 JACKMAN ............. 8191 10034 10529 10891 12830 12 18 KENNEBEC DIST ...... 535267 609105 693283 759078 851164 12 12 BRUNSWICK ........... 206014 223150 242480 297809 320655 12 8 DAMARISCOTTA ........ 83016 93882 105416 133495 161730 18 21 ROCKLAND ............ 80277 93159 100014 113567 133758 14 18 CAMDEN .............. 42855 49138 54797 61369 61395 9 0 BELFAST ............. 37606 44848 49939 50022 67466 16 35 MID COAST DIST ..... 44976S 504176 552646 656262 7450061 13 14 ELLSWORTH ........... 109854 126225 132867 155327 1746501 12 12 BLUE HILL ........... 17749 19872 21355 25270 29247 13 16 BAR HARBOR .......... 51101 56037 63111 74829 80373 12 7 JONESPORT ........... 11449 12881 14440 17665 20923 16 18 MACHIAS ............. 19077 21151 22569 25028 27834 10 11 EASTPORT ............ 7337 8386 9526 11079 119651 13 8 CALAIS .............. 31929 35245 46595 43908 49191 11 12 EASTERN MAINE DIST. 248497 279796 310464 353105 394184 12 12 WINTERPORT .......... 7133 8097 9157 9514 10596 10 11 BANGOR .............. 470244 519889 558800 603251 677528 10 12 BANGOR SUBURBAN ..... 52517 64168 76695 86628 113631 21 31 DOVER-FOXCROFT ...... 50934 59173 63392 69732 78863 12 13 LINCOLN ............. 32963 38169 40699 45750 54069 13 18 MILLINOCKET ......... 26359 38765 32711 32921 394744 11 20 PENOBSCOT DIST ..... 640150 728260 781454 847797 974162 11 15 HOULTON ............. 42305 48792 51761 57469 59293 9 3 PATTEN .............. 8699 9480 10654 11029 12396 9 12 PRESQUE ISLE ........ 148745 165105 175585 178657 1934311 7 8 MADAWASKA ............ 27276 29380 28990 29352 3235441 4 10 FORT KENT ........... 20740 23472 23861 25066 27609 7 10 NORTHERN MAINE DIST 247766 276228 290851 301574 3250831 7 8 OUT OF STATE ........ 321301 3750686 443458 459043 516404 13 12 EASTERN MAINE ECONOMIC SUMMARY DISTRICT Ellsworth: Amherst, Aurora, Bucksport, Dedham, Eastbrook, Ellsworth, Franklin, Gouldsboro, Hancock, Lamoine, Mariaville, Orland, Osborn, Otis, Sorrento, Sullivan, Surry, Trenton, Verona, Waltham, Winter Harbor Blue Hill Area: Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Deer Isle, Isle Au Haut, Penobscot, Sedgwick, Stonington Bar Harbor Area: Bar Harbor, Cranberry Isles, Long Island Plantation, Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor, Swans Island, Tremont Jonesport Area: Addison, Beals, Beddington, Centerville, Cherryfield, Columbia, Columbia Falls, Deblois, Harrington, Jonesboro, Jonesport, Milbridge, Steuben Machias Area: Cutler, East Machias, Machias, Machiasport, Marion Township, Marshfield, Northfield, Roque Bluffs, Wesley, Whiting, Whitneyville Eastport Area: Dennysville, Eastport, Edmunds Township, Lubec, No. 14 Plantation, Pembroke, Perry, Trescott Township Calais Area: Alexander, Baileyville, Baring Plantation, Brookton Township, Calais, Charlotte, Codyville,.

C= Cb kr4 - IV 14 During the summer months the area's population grows substantial.1y. Actual numbers are h-ard to come by, but a survey in 1975 by the Regional Planning Commission showed approximately 300 seasonal homes or cottages in the 11 town "economic summary area". This could mean an additional 500-1000 persons patronizing Machias stores during mid-August. Halfway between Ellsworth and Calais on Route 1, Machias pFrovides motorists with a convenient stopping place for gasoline, a meal. or just a chance to stretch the legs. It would be-quite difficu-It .to precisely identify the economic impact of this "thru-traffic", yet it appears to be substantial. In 1972, the State commissioned the firm of Northeast Markets, Inc. and others to study tourism. The study reported that tourists who stay in motels (as opposed to campgrounds, with relatives, etc.) spend an average of $33-59 per person per day (for lodging, meals,' gasoline, souvenirs, etc.). Machias has four motels, with a total of about 100 units. Assumi-ng an occupancy rate of 90% between June I and September 1, with two- persons per unit ... the town host approximately 200 persons per night. These 200* persons spend a total of $6600 per day (1972) dollars, and a significant portion of it will remain here in Machias. SERVICES AND FACILITIES 1. FINANCIAL Three banking and trust companies from outside the Machias area serve Machias and a savings bank also has its head office here. 2. COMMUNICATIONS One AM and one FM radio stations are located in Machias. Many other radio stations can be received in this area. U.S. and Canadian TV can be received, including an educational channel. Cable TV is . available which greatly-increases clarity and d6pend6bil.ity and offers additional channels. The Bangor Daily News provides daily coverage of northeastern'Maine, with a Downeast paqe featured in Washington County editions. The Machias Valley News Observor is the local newspaper with a circulation of about 3,200. 3. ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION Machias is a member of School Union 102. Machias Memorial High School has a total enrollment of 225 of which 144 are Machias residents and 81 are tuition students from other towns in the Union. In 1970 there were 141 resident students, Thie increase, while small, has come during a period when many schools have been facing declining enrollments. The high school includes grades 8-12. Major renovations and new construction will be completed early in 1986. Washington Academy in East Machias serves the S.A.D. 77 towns of Machiasport, East Machias, Cutler and Whiting as well as tuition students from other towns. 15 4. COLLEGE EDUCATION The University of Maine at Machias has an enrollment of over 600 students and offers four-year degree programs. Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Elementary-Junior High School Education and Business Education. All programs require a minimum of 128 credit hours to complete requirements for a degree of Bachelor of Science. The college also offers a two-year Business Management Program. Through its counselling service, the college assists students in adjusting to college life. While providing a strong program of general education, the college enables the student to cultivate the qualities necessary to think inde- pendently, develop imaginative responses to his envieonment and aids the student in bringing to focus, realization of himself, his abilities and his potential contribution to society. There are many,organizations on the campus, established to offer well- rounded and balanced activities, consistent with the interests and needs of the students. Extra curricular activities include the Campus Recreation Association, Concert Choir, a National Honorary Dramatics Society, Future Business Leaders of America and scores of other for both male and female students. 5. MEDICAL FACILITIES The Machias area is served by the Down East Community Hospital, a non- profit 38 bed community hospital, incorporated in 1960 and serving patients since 1964. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accredition of Hospitals. The hospital has an active medical staff of 17 doctors, 9 technicians and six head nurses. In 1978 the total budget was $2,247,989, with an excess of revenues over expenses of $47,737. A new nursing home was completed in Machias in 1979, and a former nursing home is being converted into a minimal care facility. 16 OEHOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS Population The Machias area population has rema,ined stable for many year s (the area maintained a population of about 6,000 during the years from 1900 to 1970 when Washington County's population declined-from 45,000 to 3G,000!). From 1970 to 1980 the area has kept pace with the County's re-newed growth. Precise future projections are diffcult in areas of low population. However, it is anticipated that by 2000 the area will have between 7,500 and 8,000 residents. This will be an increase of 576 to 1075. At the 1980 ratio of 2.9 persons per household, 199 to 371 units will be required to house this increase. This is 66 to 124 units every five years. The tables, charts, and graphs on the following pages present detailed population data for the Machias area. Two population segments of special interest to this study are discussed in this section. The Elderly Eleven percent of tha area's population was over 65 in 1970, by 1980 this percentage had increased to 15%. Puring the decade, the population as a whole had increased by 16.5% while the over 65 population increased by 34.4'%. There was a sizable in-migration of elerly in addition to the natural increase. This trend is expected to continue. By 2000 those over 65 are projected to account for 17.4 of the area s population of 7,000 to 8,000. The total elderly will be 1,225 - 1,400 an increase of 420 - 595 over 1980. There are 1.50 persons per houshold in this age group in this area. Therefore 280 - 397 additional over 65 households will be in the area by 2000. For planning purposes, approximately 113 new units every five years until the end of the 1900's will be required in this area to accommodate newcomers to this age group. The "Work Disabled" The number of residents in 1980 with "work disabilities" was 434. Assuming that this group increases in size as the population as a whole, an additional 76 persons will be in this category and may be eligible for FmHA assisted 'hous'lng by'2000. They could account for 25 units every five years. The work disabled plus elderly households increase would total 92 every five yea@s. Physically and Mentally Handicapped The residential needs of the physically and mentally handicapped population in the area are perhaps one of the most pressing. Washington County is one of the few areas in the State with no group homes or nursing homes specifically for the handicapped, and at this date the only handicapped residential service in the county is a suoervised apartment project which will serve 16 adults who .10 require a minimal amount of supervision to enqble them to live independently. 17 1860 40 1930 13 0. 36 POPULATION of WASHINGTON COUNTY 30 1970 0 0 0 0 YEAR 20 to 1820 04- z cn POPULATION z OF MACHIAS TRADE AREA < 1900 - 1980 AND EL 0 PROJECTION TO 2000 CL 0 0 d, (5, 6, 6% 6* 6% 4r 18 Donforth Wncebdo 0 WASHINGTON COUNTY Q POPULATION DISTRIBUTION 0 z 0 %Princeton 01 Woodlond a Is astport 01 Z10 1 00 *0 to 0 *0 0 Lubec Cherryfield 0 % 0 OW&OM 0 rt ge Jonesport 4500 2000 Soo STATE FLANN114G OFFICE 10" 1?,' a I POPULATION CHAUGE 1?7-@-17eO ---------------- ---------- ---- -------------- ---------------- POP CHAuGE 70-6n CH.'.UGE 114 1900 TOT HOUSEHOLDS TOTAL POPULArIO;4 ?30 14A 7 14ET TOT HSLD TO-SC- HSLD G..' 0 @.'

Washington County is the only county in Maine with a median household income less than 0.8 times the State's median. State of Maine $13,816 0.8 Times State Median 11,053 Washington County 10,443 A sizable percentage of persons in Machias area towns had median household incomes below the 0.8 level in 1979, according to the U.S. Census.

This would yield an additional 88 families by 2000 or approxi- mately 30 new eligible families every five years. The 1986 H.E.A.P. Guidelines set family income limits of: $ 7,875 for a family of 1 10,575 for a family of 2 13,275 for a family of 3 18,675 for a family of 5 While 1985 income figures for each town are not available, it is clear that they have not increased as dramatically as would have been necessary to alter the estimates of eligible families which was based upon H.U.D.Sls requirements. The 1980 Census figures show that one-third of the areas families which earn $15,000 a year or less are paying over 25% of their household income for housing! This figure is especially significant when the fact that the median household income in the county is $4,500 below $15,000. 25 STATE PLANNING OFFICE DATE: 10/16/80 SOCIAL ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS (UNDUPLICATED COUNT) AS OF JUNE, 1980 FOOD NURSING TOTAL STAMPS AFDC ssi HOMES MEDICAID CUTLER 205 165 19 14 1 69 EAST MACHIAS 345 256 50 36 0 158 MACHIAS 699 465 122 �5 48 408 MACHIASPORT 361 273 90 25 0 170 MARSHFIELD 52 50 10 3 0 16 NORTHFIELD 14 11 0 0 0 4 ROQUE BLUFFS 89 79 15 3 0 25 WESLEY 55 39 5 7 0 29 WHITING 92 81 18 6 0 39 WHITNEYVILLE 90 58 11 15 0 49 26 HOUSING: AGE' The Machias area is one of older homes, many built when there was more prosperity by the sea captains who made their homes here, others, more humble. In the past 20 years many have been renovated, others removed (accidently or intentionally). The age of the housing stock is not as critical here as in some other areas, but must be considered when almost 50,40 of the units are almost 50 years old (1,244 of the 2,638 units constructed prior to 1939). - Replacing 20/10 of this stock by -2000 would require 249 new units or 83 every 5 years. HOUSING: LACKING PLUMBING A home lacking complete plumbing does not carry the stigma in this area that they do in some places, but it is reasonable to assume that by 2000 most units without such facilities will either have them installed or be removed. If one half of the 347 are removed it will require 173 replacement units or 57 every five years. HOUSING: SUBSTANDARD The 1980 census indicates 120 housing units in the area are "substandard." No separate estimate is made for replacement of these units because to do so would probably result in "double counting." (It is likely that these units are included in one of the other counts such as age of dwelling, lacking facilities, etc.).

(The average Washington County household has 2.9 persons and would require this size unit). Median household income is $10,443. The fair market rental is $4,080 annually or 39/02' of the households income. By definition, half of the families would be paying-a sub- stanitally higher percentage. Rentals comprise 19'% of the total occupied dwelling units. Which is just above the county figure of 18% but well below the Maine percentage of 29. These figures confirm local opinion that there is a need for additional rental units. There is a waiting list for Valley View Apartments for 21 units. Those are of similar length as other facilities although there is inevitably a duplication of applicants.
