                                                   Summary  and Recommendations

            SUMMARY

            The Cutler Harbor study has investigated the history and existing
            conditions at Cutler Harbor and evaluated several options for its
            future.

            The study, in particular, has prepared a revitilization and
            development plan, based upon the needs and characteristics
            of Cutler.

            Also prepared is the Harbor Management Plan, including a draft
            harbor ordinance which might be adopted by the Town. .

            Since most of the recommended facilities impact on the waterfront
            and intertidal zones, the required permits from State and Federal
            agencies have been addressed, particularly as they relate to
            environmental considerations. Also included, has been a prelim-
            inary assessment of the environmental impacts associated with the
            recommended projects during construction and continued operation.

            Details concerning a lobster and clam hatchery have been included
            in the report, as well as a suggested building design.

            Figure 1 shows the location of Cutler on the Washington County
            map.

            RECOMMENDATIONS

            Based upon the findings of this report the following
            recommendations are made:

            1.    The Town adopt a Harbor Ordinance similar to that in
                  Appendix B.

            2.    The Town construct a public commercial fishing pier as
                  described by Section 6 of this report.

            3.    The Town authorize $47,800 for the design of the proposed
                  pier.

            4.    The Town seek grant assistance for soundings, borings and
                  the design services needed for the proposed pier.

            5.    The Town apply to the Maine Department of Transportation for
                  construction funds for the proposed pier.

            6.    The Town take positive steps to guarantee the occupancy and
                  future maintenance of the McGhie building and pier.

            7.    The Town phase out pole moorings over the next ten (10) year
                  period.

                                                                                    WASHINGTON'

            Background                                                 Introduction

            Cutler Harbor is physically located at the mid-coast point of the
            Town. Figure 2 shows Cutler's location relative to Machiasport,
            which coordinated its Harbor Study with that of Cutler. The
            harbor has been primarily used as a fishing port by scallop and
            quahog draggers, as well as lobster boats. The Town's fishing
            fleet has increased from ten (10) boats in 1975 to thirty-six
            (36) boats in 1985.

            As part of the Cutler Harbor Study, background information was
            reviewed, which included the following:

                  0 1974 Comprehensive Plan
                  0 1979 Updated Comprehensive Plan
                  0 Town Questionnaire of 1979

            A complete bibliography is contained in the back of this report.

            Figure 3 shows the portion of Cutler which was the focus of this
            study.

            Purpose

            The purpose of the Cutler Harbor Study is to evaluate past trends
            and uses and relate them to future needs. Specifically, the Town
            of Cutler wishes to expand commercial fishing possibilities, as
            they relate to a Town pier. A Town pier will allow:

                  1.   Additional pier facilities which are needed, since only
                       three privately owned piers exist in Cutler.

                  2.   More competition among fish wholesalers, thus higher
                       prices for fishermen.

                  3.   A location to load and unload the needed equipment,
                       supplies and catches during all stages of tide and
                       under adverse weather conditions.

                  4.   The possibility to increase groundfish potential by
                       including a site for a small freezer, enabling
                       consolidated pick-ups for regular deliveries to market.

                  5.   Less reliance for fishermen on privately owned piers,
                       thus lowering the cost of supplies.

            The following report presents the results of the Cutler Harbor
            Study.

                                           Revitilization and Development Plan

            Objectives of the Revitilization and Development Plan

            The Revitilization and Development Plan is intended to be used as
            a framework for the Town's decisions regarding waterfront areas
            and facilities to be improved or developed. The plan will cover
            the feasibility and market studies for expanded harbor
            activities, including groundfish utilization, and servicing of
            cruise and pleasure boats; a recommended economic development
            and marketing strategy; real estate values and an evaluation of
            the need and feasibility of harbor dredging.

            An assessment of the impact of the proposals on the environment
            and the preliminary cost estimates for a public pier are
            discussed in Sections 5 and 6, respectively.

            Harbor Vicinity

            Cutler Harbor is located at the midpoint of the Town's coast.
            This is clearly shown earlier in the report by Figure 2. The
            Town of Cutler covers 46.6 square miles and is located in the
            southeast portion of Washington County.

            Harbor History

            Cutler's harbor has had a rich history in fishing. The present
            day situation and history of the harbor is best presented by this
            quote from a local resident:

                 "I have watched the ups and downs of the fishing industry
                 over the years. When I was a boy there were six full length
                 wharves that extended to low water or beyond and several
                 small ones that could be used at high tide. These wharves
                 were all owned and operated by local people and gave the
                 fishermen some sense of independence. Today, there are
                 three usable wharves left and only one of these is
                 owned by a resident of Cutler and he is about ready to
                 retire. This leaves the fishermen with a very
                 uncertain future."

            Waterfront Area and Facilities

            Figure 4 is a tracing from the 1979 aerial survey by Aerial
            Survey, Inc., which shows Cutler Harbor. Shown on the figure,
            are the present harbor activities which are primarily related to
            fishing and other prominent buildings. Also shown are some
            property lines, as taken from the Town's tax maps for this area.

                                             6

            On the approach to Cutler's harbor, along Route 191, one passes a
           -single story white building. This building, designated number 1
            on Figure 5, houses the Cutler Town Office, the Town.library and
            the lobster hatchery. The library and Town office occupy the
            first floor with the lobster hatchery located in the basement. A
            detailed discussion of the hatchery process and a preliminary
            design for a hatchery building appear in Section 7 of this
            report. Parking at this facility is currently adequate and there
            is room for expansion if necessary.

            Located on the western end of the harbor is Corbett's Wharf.
            Gasoline and diesel fuel are both available at the wharf.
            Corbett's wharf is also the only wharf in Cutler Harbor which is
            owned by a Cutler resident.

            Further into the village area, is the Village Store (Number 4).
            The village store sells most grocery items which would be needed
            by the pleasure boater.

            Prominently located in the village area of Cutler is a large, two
            and one-half story building. This building, designated Number 5,
            constructed on piles, was once a store, but in recent years has
            been vacant. Discussions with local residents indicate that the
            bottom floor of the building may flood at times when a high tide
            and a storm occur simultaneously. The location and the building
            show great potential for a marine oriented use although deed
            restrictions might not allow such a use.

            Because of its central location, the building detracts from the
            community's economic atmosphere. The Town might approach the
            owner concerning modifications of the deed restrictions to allow
            compatible uses. These might include:

                 0    A marine specialty supply store.
                      A small grocery and seafood store.
                      A bed and breakfast type inn.
                 0    A historical society building.
                 0    A restaurant.

            The building should be evaluated for its structural integrity
            prior to any major undertaking. The condition of the piles
            upon which the building sits is particularly important, since
            replacement could be costly and difficult. Without use, this
            building will continue to deteriorate and ultimately be
            demolished.

            Located adjacent to the McGhie Building is the McGhie pier
            (Number 6). The McGhie Pier is a small wooden pier which sees
            limited use, although Captain Barna Norton uses the pier for the
            loading and unloading of passengers. Although the McGhie build-

                                             7

            ing is for sale, discussion with Shepard's , "Select Properties
            of Machias", has revealed that the McGhie pier is not for sale.

            Just east of the McGhie pier is the A.M. Look Wharf (Number 7).
            The Look Wharf sells both gasoline and diesel fuel. Access to
            the water is very difficult at the Look Wharf at low tide, as it
            is at all the piers in Cutler.

            Economic Development and Marketing

            The economic development of harbor area will depend upon two (2)
            deciding factors. First, and most importantly, is the decision
            by the community on whether they wish to maintain the existing
            character of the village while improving the facilities needed
            for their commercial fisherman. Second, does the Town wish to
            integrate recreational and other types of activities with
            commercial fishing?

                 1. Growth Pattern

                 An evaluation of the past population trends for the Town of
                 Cutler has been made and future projections to the year 2020
                 have been completed. Figure 5 illustrates the increase in
                 population expected, which should exceed 900 by the year
                 2020. This represents an increase of 25% in population
                 while boat projections show a 65% increase over the next 15
                 year period.

                 2. Potential Activities

                 Potential activities for the future will involve tourist
                 boat trips and cruising pleasure boats. There is a
                 possibility that groundfish utilization may take place, but
                 it is thought that competition from Canadian sources
                 currently makes this unattractive. Several on-site surveys
                 of the Cutler Harbor Waterfront were conducted and the
                 results indicate that major focus of future activities
                 sho@uld be near the downtown area. While substantial amounts
                 of waterfront are available on the south side of the harbor,
                 access to this area is hampered by the steep hillside.

                 The key issue to be addressed for any future activities, is
                 parking. Parking spaces will be needed for fishing, tour
                 boats or pleasure crafts. The downtown area does not
                 currently offer an area large enough for parking to serve
                 any of the future activities. It is suggested that a park-
                 ing area maintained by the Town be established near the Town
                 Office to serve this function.

                                              8

            The above  issues are discussed in detail below:

                 A)    Tour Boat - One of the area's most unusual attractions
                       is Machias Seal Island. While supporting colonies of
                       Common and Artic Terns, Razorbills, and Leach's Storm
                       Petrels' the island supports an established colony of
                       Atlantic Puffins. Boat trips to Machias Seal Island,
                       which lies ten (10) miles south out to sea from Cutler,
                       are usually arranged from Jonesport, Maine. A detailed
                       discussion of Machias Seal Island and its bird colonies
                       is contained in the book, "A Birder's Guide to the
                       Coast of Maine" Chapter 18 of the book describes
                       Machias Seal Island which has served as a Canadian
                       Lighthouse since 1832. The optimum time for visiting
                       Machias Seal Island begins in mid-June, runs through
                       August. Figure 6 shows the relationship of Machias
                       Seal Island to Cutler Harbor. The Birder's Guide to
                       the Coast of Maine mentions accommodations for visitors
                       to Machias Seal Island as "a few motels, open year-
                       round in Machias and Lubec. The closest campgrounds
                       are in Jonesboro and on Campobello Island in New
                       Brunswick". There is obviously a need for expanded
                       accommodations as interest in visiting Machias Seal
                       Island increases.

                       Captain Barna Norto.n of Jonesport is reported in the
                       book to make trips out of Cutler and sometimes .
                       Jonesport every day during the summer. These trips
                       leave at 7:00 a.m. in the morning and return by noon.
                       Traveling time to the island is reported to be
                       approximately one (1) hour.

                       Contacted by telephone, Captain Norton indicated that
                       he uses McGhie's Wharf when operating out of Cutler
                       Harbor. Captain Norton currently has a 40 foot excur-
                       sion boat which carries thirty (30) passengers.
                       Passengers usually park along Main Street or in
                       Corbett's yard. He is currently making one (1) trip
                       daily, usually a total of sixty to eighty (60-80) trips
                       per year, depending upon weather. Last year Captain
                       Norton purchased the larger 40 foot boat. He now plans
                       to use the 36 foot boat in conducting whale watching
                       tours. It will be operated by his son. Needs for
                       future excursion boats mentioned by Captain Norton
                       include a dock facility extending to low water, parking
                       facilities and an improved boat ramp.

                       Discussions with tour boat operators along the coast of
                       Maine indicate the need for basic facilities and nearby
                       support establishments. These requirements include the
                       following:

                                                9

                        0    Dockage for all stages of tide.
                        0    Five to eight feet of depth at low tide, next to
                             the dock.
                        0    Calm waters most of the time in the vicinity of
                             the dock.
                        0    Electrical power of 110 volts for small boats and
                             440 volts for large boats.
                        0    Floats and a ramp leading to a pier or land.
                             Ticket booth.
                             Adequate parking.
                        0    Maximum visibility to customers.
                        0    A class "A" restaurant near or within sigt of the dock.

                        With an increase in tourism to the Washington County
                        area, and the increase in environmental concerns, it is
                        felt that the need for another tour boat will be
                        realized by the year 2000. A tour boat could be used
                        for whale watching, sight seeing and/or day trips to
                        Machias Seal Island. As estimated in Table 4, an
                        additional tour boat would have an economic return to
                        the area of up to $70,000 per year.

                  B)    Pleasure Boats - The bible of cruising pleasure boat
                        owners is A Cruising Guide to the New England Coast.
                        The book was first published in 1938 by Robert F.
                        Duncan. Subsequent updates were made in 1946, 1952,
                        1955, 1961, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1972, 1978, 1979, and
                        1983. The book is currently authored by Roger F.
                        Duncan of East Boothbay, Maine and John P. Ware.
                        Cutler, Maine (13327 302) is discussed in Part 2 of the
                        publication in Chapter XII, - "Schoodic Point to West
                        Quoddy Head". Highlights of the book's discussion on
                        Cutler indicate  it to be the last port in the United
                        States for those cruising to the eastward. While not
                        truly the last port in the State of Maine, the cost
                        line from Cutler east has a strong "Canadian Flavor".
                        Accommodations in Cutler Harbor listed in the "Cruising
                        Guide" include gasoline, diesel fuel, ice, milk and
                        fresh water. Fresh water is quite hard and the book
                        recommends traveling inland on the Machias Road to
                        obtain soft water from a roadside spring.

                        Accommodations and facilities which should be provided
                        if Cutler is to truly serve cruising pleasure boats
                        would include the following:

                        0    Good supply of high quality drinking water.
                        0    Block ice.
                             Showers.
                             Laundromat
                             Gasoline and diesel fuels.
                             Marine supplies and charts.
                             Six (6) guest moorings.

                 C)   Groundfish - According to Department of Marine
                      Resources (DMR) records, 80% of all groundfish in the
                      State of Maine is landed in Cumberland and Knox
                      Counties, generally south of Rockland, Maine. Some of
                      the hurdles to be overcome if Washington County is to
                      serve the groundfish market will include the following:

                           Distance from fresh fish distribution centers.
                           The reluctance to accept frozen fish into the
                           groundfish market.
                      0    The possibility of importing Canadian whole fish
                           to supplement fluctuations in local fish.
                      0    Fluctuations in groundfish landings due to the
                           weather conditions.

                      DMR did indicate that groundfish is being successfully
                      landed in Stuben and the newly opened Passamaquoddy
                      Fillet Plant. The success of both operations should be
                      monitored by the Harbor Committee. Additionally, the
                      Portland Fish Pier will be a pilot project for the use
                      of Canadian whole fish to supplement the local supply
                      of groundfish, when the supply does not meet the demand.

                      Groundfish landed in Cutler could also be used to
                      supplement local groundfish at the Portland Fish Pier.
                      Groundfish could be temporarily stored in a refrigera-
                      tion truck until an adequate load could be delivered to
                      the marketplace. In order to be ultimately successful,
                      an on-site refrigeration system would probably be
                      necessary. The success of groundfishing in Cutler
                      would rely on a commitment by fishermen, because fish
                      markets require a steady source of product.

                      The Boothbay Harbor Fishermen's Cooperative has been
                      experiencing some problems which relate to management
                      and lack of commitment by local fishermen, small
                      catches associated with short trips and the need to
                      combine different kinds of fish in order to obtain the
                      volume needed. The Boothbay Harbor situation will also
                      need to be monitored by the Harbor Committee.

                      Groundfishing can only be looked upon as a source of
                      income for a limited number of fisherman, or as a
                      source of supplemental income for other fisherman due
                      to limited natural resources. The limited natural
                      resources can be attributed to the recent boundary
                      dispute with Canada. During the boundary dispute, very
                      lucrative fishing waters were taken away from American
                      fisherman. This action caused large, sophisticated
                      American fishing vessels to fish in a smaller coastal
                      area, thus depleting these waters of groundfish at a
                      faster rate than would have occurred before the
                      boundary dispute

                      With the addition of a new town pier, and related
                      facilities, Cutler would be able to increase its share
                      of the shellfish and groundfish landed in Washington
                      County. The commercial fisheries landings for
                      Washington County, as reported by the Resource Statis-
                      tics Division of the National Marine Fishery's     Service,
                      are shown in Table 1. The landing report also     indi-
                      cates the dollars associated with each category. While
                      finfish accounts for nearly twice the pounds of shell-
                      fish landed, it accounts for less than 10% of the total
                      dollars realized. Table 2 shows a comparison of fish
                      to shell fish as reported through December 1985. The
                      addition of groundfishing and the expansion of the
                      current fishing industry, would create new jobs and add
                      needed income to the area.

            Survey of Sites For Public Use

            Sites available for public use have been narrowed to the
            following:

                                                  --15

            1.   Property behind the Town Office comprised of ten (10)
                 acres.

            2.   Property owned by Stillman Fitzhenry, comprised of two (2)
                 acres.

            3.   Property formerly and currently owned by Mr. Malcolm McGhie
                 comprised of an abandoned store and pier.

            4.   Property owned by Jasper Cates, comprised of less than one
                 (1) acre.

            Details surrounding each site are discussed below and their
            locations are shown on Figure 4.

            The property behind the Town Office could be used for a parking
            area or for the site of a hatchery building. The idea of
            building the Town pier behind the Town Office was deemed
            undesirable due to the large drop to the water.

            The idea for building or expanding the pier on the property owned
            by Malcolm McGhie was abandoned when it was learned that the pier
            was not for sale along with the building.

            After local concern was voiced for the usefulness of the sand
            beach area, as a boat maintenance area, the proposal for the Town
            pier extending from the property owned by Stillman Fitzhenry was
            eliminated.

            The property owned by Jasper Cates offers an ideal location for
            the public pier. Although no parking is available on site, it is
            felt that adequate parking can be provided for within walking
            distance.

            Additional Studies

            Additional studies are recommended to supplement and carry out
            this Harbor Study. These include:

                 0    A Corps of Engineering condition survey for dredging.

                 0    A study to determine the water supply and wastewater
                      disposal needs of the village.

                 0    A detailed evaluation' of potential parking areas.

            Marketing of Cutler Harbor

            The duties of the Harbor Committee should address both the Harbor

                      material relating to recreational boating interests.
                      This information could be a small pamphlet prepared by
                      the Town for distribution to recreational boaters,
                      stating where and when they can get supplies such as
                      water and food while in Cutler.

                      of Engineers, and U.S. Coast Guard, and the-Department of
                      Marine Resources.

                 0    Additional contacts should be developed with shellfish
                      and finfish markets, particularly at the Portland Fish
                      Pier.

                 0    An updated description of the Harbor should be sent to
                      the New England Cruising Guide, periodically, to insure
                      current information for pleasure boaters.

                                                         Harbor Management Plan

            Objectives of the Harbor Management Plan

            The Harbor Management Plan is intended to serve as a framework
            for the Town's decisions on harbor issues. This policy framework
            can be used by the Harbor Committee and the Board of Selectmen to
            evaluate desirability and impact on individual programs and
            regulations as they relate to the harbor and to the Town as a
            whole. The plan attempts to relate the major elements of harbor
            use in a way that will produce a coordinated view of what the
            Cutler harbor of the future should be. The Harbor Management
            Plan is similar to a Town's Comprehensive Plan. It describes
            the goals of how the harbor should be managed. The goals of the
            Harbor Management Plan are to provide for:

                      The orderly development of the harbor.

                      A safe harbor during storms.

                 0    Adequate clearances for navigation and moorings.

                 0    Promotion of existing activities and their improvement.

                 0    The marine supply needs of all boaters.

            The Harbor Management Plan will be administered by the Cutler
            Harbor Committee and enforced by the Harbor Master. Figure 7
            shows the overall limits of Cutler Harbor, with the proposed
            lines which outline the Harbor Channel and mooring areas.

            The Harbor Ordinance (See Appendix B) provides the rules and
            regulations by which the Harbor Management Plan is implemented.
            The key aspects of the Harbor Ordinance include:

                 0    A clear and concise definition of all terms.

                      Designation of all channels and passageways.

                      A designation of the anchorage.

                 0    A mooring plan.

                 0    Standards for moorings.

                                               21

             Harbor Capacity-

             The water area, at low tide, suitable for anchorage and channels
             is estimated to be 38 acres. If properly managed and controlled,
             this area will serve the needs of Cutler for many years. In
             determining harbor capacity, future projections have been made
             for the number of boats based upon past records. The fishing
             fleet in Cutler has grown significantly in the past eleven (11)
             years. This is reflected in Table 5 below, which also shows boat
             projections.

             Harbor Growth

             As shown by Table 5, the boats using Cutler's harbor may increase
             by 65% by the year 2,000. The anchorage available is estimated
             at 38 acres. The anchorage will be at capacity by the year 1990,
             if current mooring methods are used. It is recommended that pole
             moorings be phased out and replaced with alternate methods of
             mooring over the next ten (10) year period. Alternate methods of
             moorings include slips and mooring floats. These methods of
             mooring boats will be required if projections are realized.

             Careful monitoring of Harbor development will be required.

             Harbor Issues

             Based upon a review of activities in other Maine Harbors, the
             following specific criteria are suggested for each of the issues
             discussed:

             A.   Clearances - There shall be a minimum clearance of ten (10)
                  feet from any moored or docked boat, channel line, and
                  mooring area.

             B.   The Harbor Committee shall maintain a mooring plan.
                  Standards for moorings shall include the following, which
                  reflect the relationship between boat length and mooring
                  weight. Also, each mooring shall be properly equipped with
                  the necessary hardware, chains, buoy and pickup buoy.

                                                  22

                 Figure 8 shows the existing "pole" moorings which will need
                 to be replaced with chain moorings (Fig. 9) due to
                 restricted space.

            C.   Floats - All floats shall be approved for construction and
                 location by the Harbor Committee. Maximum length of a
                 single float shall not exceed twenty (20) feet. The
                 maximum width shall not exceed ten (10) feet. All floats
                 shall be equipped with proper flotation.

            D.   Speeds - The maximum speed within the Harbor limits shall
                 not exceed 5 knots (6 miles per hour).

            E.   Fees - The following fee schedule is proposed for docking
                 and mooring facilities in Cutler Harbor:

                 1. Mooring Fees                            $15.00 per year
                 2. Float Registration Fees                 $10.00 per year
                 3. Docking Fees at Public Piers & Slips    $30.00/ft per year

            F.   Maintenance - The maintenance of all floats and moorings
                 shall be the responsibility of the owner. All moorings
                 shall be annually approved by the Harbor Master and at his
                 directiodthe boat or flotation owner or his agent shall
                 make necessary repairs or replacements to all parts
                 thereof in such time as the Harbor' Master deems necessary
                 for the safety of the craft or others adjacent to it.

            Mooring Plan

            While Figure 7 shows the general areas and channels in Cutler
            Harbor. Appendix C contains a detailed Mooring Plan with
            locations and bearings shown.

            The layout and location of the moorings and channels may be
            accomplished with electronic navigation equipment available on
            many of the fishing boats. The Harbor Master plans to utilize
            the LORAN System. This system, as the name implies, is a Long
            Range Aid to Navigation providing transmissions from which
            data can be obtained with a special shipborne receiver for
            reference to "latticed" charts. Each pair of stations
            transmits synchronized radio pulses with a fixed delay between
            the Master and Secondary transmission. The shipborne receiver
            measures the "time difference" being drawn on the chart as a
            hyperbolic pattern of position lines. A fix is obtained by
            measuring the delay of a second pair providing a second
            position line with a suitable angle of cut in the area.

                                               23

            Many of the 1200 series coastal charts have LORAN Lines
            overprinted thereon and tables for each pair are available so
            that a user can layout lines on any chart within a range of that
            pair.

            The LORAN A System has been phased out and replaced with the
            LORAN C System. The LORAN C System provides greatly increased
            accuracy at longer ranges with fully-automatic receivers. If the
            receiver has previously been used in the area and a fix at a
            known location obtained, the time difference correlations from
            this fix can be applied to obtain 50' to 100' accuracy for other
            locations.

            Capital improvements

            The major capital improvement to Cutler Harbor will be a public
            pier. The ultimate facility will include a boat launching ramp,
            parking lots, boat maintenance area and a freezer for groundfish.
            These facilities are discussed in Section 6.

            The following facilities are presented in the order by which they
            might be completed by a capital improvement program, covering the
            next 8 year period.

                                                 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

            The environmental impacts resulting from any waterfront or harbor
            development must be reviewed and approved by State and Federal
            agencies. The two primary agencies involved include the
            Department of Environmental Protection, U.S. Army Corps of
            Engineers. While both of these agencies allow maintenance of
            existing facilities, total replacement or construction of new
            facilities require extensive permits and detail applications to
            obtain them.

            Draft Environmental Permit Applications are contained in Appendix F.

            Also involved in addressing environmental considerations will be
            the Bureau of Public Lands, which leases all submerged land for
            the State of Maine, as well as, the Department of Marine
            Resources, which reviews all marine activities. Construction
            resulting in navigational impact will require U.S. Coast Guard
            permits.

            JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS

            The jurisdictional limits of the various agencies involved with
            addressing environmental issues can be confusing. The limits are
            best depicted by Figure 10. This Figure shows the shoreland
            zoning which was State mandated to be adopted by all Maine
            communities within two hundred and fifty feet of normal high
            water. In this zone, local ordinances apply as well as DEP's
            Bureau of Land Quality Control requirements. From normal high
            water and beyond the DEP's Wetlands Alteration Law is in effect.
            Below normal low water the Bureau of Public Land's administers
            the Submerged Lands Regulations.

            The Corps of Engineers jurisdiction begins at annual high water
            and extends beyond mean low water to the 3-mile limit.

                                                r f  it r r
            The distinction between "normal", mean    , annual high" and
            "flooding" due to storms, are important when addressing issues of
            setbacks and filling.

            PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

            Project Description

            The Cutler public pier will provide the Town a pier which will be
              able at all stages of tide. It is designed to provide a boost
            to the economic growth of the fishing industry. The proposed
            us

            pier will provide for a location to load and unload the needed

                                              28

            equipment during all stages of the tide and under all weather
            conditions, which is presently difficult to accomplish. The pier
            will extend 300 feet into the harbor and will require some
            filling at the shoreline.

            Air Quality

            The construction and operation of the proposed pier will have
            virtually no effect on the Town's air quality.

            Solid Waste Disposal

            The proposed pier will not have any additional impact on or
            disrupt the present solid waste disposal system. Construction
            refuse could be accommodated at the Town's solid waste disposal
            site. Solid waste disposal will cause no adverse effects on the
            environment.

            Water Quality

            Impacts to water quality will be limited to minor siltation
            associated with landside construction and the driving of piles.

            Minor impacts can be expected from periodic swabbing of the pier
            and boat decks.

            A pumpout facility for pleasure boat holding tanks is not
            planned. Processing of catches are not expected to result from
            the pier or associated activities.

            Wetlands

            The filling of wetlands will not be required for the pier itself.
            The construction of the boat maintenance area and freezer area
            will require the filling of wetlands. This filling will impact
            marine life in the area of fill and require additional environ-
            mental permits. Marine life that could be effected by the con-
            struction of the boat maintenance area and freezer area include
            clams, mussels, sandworms, bloodworms and crabs.

            Erosion/Siltation

            Minor erosion and siltation can be expected by the sitework
            construction of the pier accessway, boat maintenance area and
            freezer area. Proper construction procedures will minimize the
            effect of erosion/siltation on the environment.

            Traffic

            During construction, traffic will increase due to the workmen's
            vehicles and the delivery of materials. Once complete, increased
            traffic will be expected as use of the harbor grows and more
            fishermen use the pier.

                                              29

            Historical/Archaeolgical

            There will be no impacts on historical/archaeological areas.

                                                               Proposed Facilities

             General

             Cutler Harbor has experienced a fourfold increase in its fishing
             fleet in the last ten (10) years, while docking space has
             actually decreased. Currently, town residents and fishermen rely
             on two (2) privately owned wharves which make operations
             difficult, which will stymie future growth. In addition, due
             to increased fishing pressures, the trend is to fish further
             offshore, thus larger vessels are being utilized, which puts more
             demand on the existing facilities.

             In addition to commercial fishing, Cutler Harbor also has the
             potential for increased tour boat activity. Presently, boat
             trips are offered to the bird sanctuary on Machias Seal Island,
             but the potential for more trips and future growth is also being
             stymied by the inadequate docking and support facilities.

             It is important to note that a new public pier and other
             facilities should not be placed in competition with existing
             piers. It is not expected to sell fuel, supplies, or bait,
             unless needed and approved by the Town of Cutler. The purpose of
             the pier is to provide additional off loading capabilities and a
             facility available to all fishermen to repair and maintain their
             boats.

             1. PUBLIC PIER

             Pier Alternatives

             Several waterfront areas on Cutler Harbor have been investigated
             as possible sites for a public pier. Factors affecting the
             location and size of the public pier include:

                   0   Location in regards to needed supplies (i.e. fuel,etc.)
                   0   Availability of parking,
                       Depth of water at low tide
                       Access to public roadway
                   0   Minimal environmental impact
                       Present and future berthing needs
                       Boat maintenance area
                       Potential for increased pleasure and tour boats

             Through site investigations including topographic surveys,and
             conversations with Town officials, it has been determined that
             the best suitable location for a public pier is adjacent to Sand
             Beach. Two (2) alternative pier layouts and three (3) cost
             estimates have been prepared.

                                                32

            Selected Alternative 1 consists of a three hundred (300) foot
            long "L-shaped" pier with three (3) attached floats for loading
            and unloading cargo, and for short-term maintenance. This layout
            consists of a wooden deck, treated timber piles, oak fender
            piles, a stairway, railings, hoists, and necessary utilities.
            The associated utilities include electricity, a welding outlet,
            and water supply. This layout also includes reconstruction of
            the existing boat ramp which is accessed from Route 191. The
            total estimated cost for the entire facility is $611,400. A
            detailed breakdown of the costs associated with this proposed
            layout is shown in Table 6. A site plan depicting the proposed
            pier layout is shown in Appendix C (See Figure 11 for pier
            elevation view).

            Alternative 2 consists of a public pier located parallel to the
            ledge point on the southern portion of Sand Beach. This pier
            facility is similar to Alternative 1, with the exception of an
            expanded'deck on the pier to accommodate parking. This layout also
            includes reconstruction of the existingboat ramp. The total
            estimated cost of this facility is $782,100. The site plan
            depicting the layout of this facility is shown in Appendix C.

            Alternative 3 is located in the same position as Alternative 1.
            The size of these alternatives are also the same. Alternative 3
            varies from Alternative 1 by the use of concrete filled steel
            piles and a concrete deck. This layout also includes reconstruc-
            tion of the existing boat ramp. The total estimated cost of this
            facility is $677,400.

            One major advantage of the selected plan, Alternative 1, is the
            ability to preserve Sand Beach for use as a location for on-shore
            maintenance. Alternative 2 would greatly reduce the potential of
            Sand Beach for this needed activity. Another advantage of the
            selected plan is that a wooden pier can be repaired locally,
            while a concrete and steel pier would have to be repaired by
            specialized contractors.

            Pier Berthing Capacity

            Space has been provided for berthing at the new pier for boats to
            unload their catch. Berthing requirements have been based upon
            the number of boats served each day and the time needed to unload
            their catch. It is known that unloading of quahogs may take up
            to two (2) hours, while lobsters can be unloaded in one half
            hour. The number of berths at the new pier will be 7 or 8,
            depending upon boat length.

            Funding Sources

            Planning Grants and Action Grants are available from the State
            Planning Office. Planning Grants, for planning and design, are
            limited to $20,000. Action Grants, for construction, are limited
            to $50,000 per project. These grants are for waterfront related
            projects.

            Construction Grants will be available from the Maine Department
            of Transportation through the Ports and Marine Transportation
            Division. The State's participation may be up to 75%.

                 center and not less than 2-1/2 inches from edge or 4 inches
                 from end of the timber.

                 C. Deck Framing and Bracing

                 Timber in deck structure shall conform to the "Design Values
                 for Wood Construction" and the "National Design Specifica-
                 tion for Wood Construction". latest edition, as published by
                 the National Forest Products Association. Timber shall be
                 pressure treated. Treads and runway wearing surfaces shall
                 be resistant to wear, preferably oak or maple. Dimensions
                 shall be a maximum of 12 inches wide and a minimum of 3
                 inches thick. Provide a minimum clearance of 3/8 inches
                 between treads, attached to planks with drive screws or a
                 minimum of twenty (20) penny nails. Maintain a minimum of
                 3/8 inch clearance between planks, a minimum of 12 inches
                 wide, attached to stringers or nailers with drive screws or
                 min-imum of twenty (20) penny nails.

                 D. Hardware and Fittings

                 All hardware and fittings shall be galvanized. The minimum
                 diameter of bolts shall be 1 inch and the minimum thickness
                 of metal shall be 1/2 inch in or below splash zone. The
                 minimum diameter of bolts shall be 3/4 inch, and the minimum
                 thickness of metal shall be 3/8 inch above the splash zone.

                 E. Design Loads

                 Dead loads shall be estimated by the actual weights of the
                 materials used. Live loads shall be the greatest load
                 produced by the intended use and occupancy, but not less
                 than five hundred (500) pounds per square foot for general
                 cargo handling areas. The following loads shall be con-
                 sidered, but not limited to: truck loads, impact from
                 berthing ships, forces from moored ships, winds on the
                 pier, ice and currents, earth pressures, tidal lag, and
                 seismic forces.

                                               35

                 The basic allowable stresses for timber piles shall be
                 determined in accordance with the standard for "Establishing
                 Design Stresses in Round Timber Piles", ASTM D-2899. Safe
                 column loads for unsupported piles shall be determined from
                 column formulas contained in the "National Design Specifica-
                 tion for Stress-Grade Lumber and its Fastenings", by the
                 National Forest Products Associations.

            2. Boat Launching Ramp

            Upgrading of the boat launching ramp will consist of reposi-
            tioning, fine grading, and paving the existing boat ramp. Pre-
            cast concrete planks will be placed across the loose sandy beach
            area to the hard packed soil in order to facilitate driving. The
            upgrading of the boat launching ramp is estimated to cost $12,000.

            3. Parking

            Since no single site is available to accommodate the parking
            needs of the fishermen using the public pier, several small areas
            could be developed. Roadside parking and a parking lot beside
            the Masonic Hall could be developed for a cost of $24,000.

            4. Boat Maintenance and Freezer Areas

            Construction of the boat maintenance area will consist of a 225
            foot long retaining wall, granular fill and a 100 long foot
            marine railway. The cost of this facility will be $128,000,
            which is not included in overall pier costs. This cost does not
            include the cradle and the motor house needed to haul boats up
            the railway.

            5. Freezer

            A freezer would be constructed on a portion of the land made
            available by the building of a retaining wall and fill for the
            boat maintenance and freezer area. The freezer would be large
            enough to hold fish until a sizeable quantity of fish could be
            shipped to market. The cost of the freezer facility would be
            $40,000.

            Benefits of a Public Pier

            Neither an extensive cost/benefit analysis nor harbor economic
            impact study are within the scope of this study. Instead,
            qualitative descriptions of probable economic benefits, including
            direct savings or revenues and employment impacts are offered. A
            comprehensive cost/benefit analysis of a project compares the
            future project costs with the direct benefits resulting from
            the project over the economic life of the investment. Project
            costs consist of initial outlays, operating and maintenance costs
            and normal replacement costs. Project benefits -for a pier

                                            36

             reflect only direct benefits or savings to the persons using the
             pier. Typical direct benefits include savings in loading and
             unloading times and revenues that would be lost without a new
             facility.

             Harbor activities also provide employment generation which is
             very important to the economy and people of Cutler and Down East
             Maine. The following summary provides employment impact
             information created by a public pier in Cutler.

             Project Costs

             Project costs were developed based upon several sources. Land
             acquisition costs were estimated from values reported by the
             Action Agency Real Estate Office in Machias. Borings were quoted
             by Maine Test Borings, Inc. in Bangor. Soundings and permits
             have been estimated from previous projects now completed.

              Samuel R. Chapman, Aquaculture Specialist, Maine Advisory
              Program, University of Maine has been involved for a number of
              years with hatchery programs for clams and lobsters. Mr. Chapman
              has been most helpful in assisting the Town of Cutler with the
              establishment of its marine hatchery facility located in the
              basement of the Town Office. Dedication of the facility took
              place on April 16, 1986. The philosophy behind the hatchery is
              that man will be returning something that he has always taken
              from the sea. This idea is similar to the State of Maine Fresh
              Water Fish Stocking Program. Since its establishment, the
              hatchery has stocked nearly 2,000 stage four lobsters. There are
              currently 100,000 lobsters in the hatchery.

              Hatchery Process

              The hatchery process involves the procurement of egg laden
              females. Each brooder lays between 6,000 and 50,000 eggs. Most
              ftcounters't (legal sized females) will carry 20-'30,000 eggs. The
              eggs, as they become detached from the female, are free floating
              in the spawning tanks and are approximately the size of a pin
              head. The juvenile lobsters are separated from the adults as
              tank water overflows to a succeeding tank by a one half inch
              overflow pipe. Separation of the juveniles from adult lobsters
              is required to avoid cannibalism which is associated with this
              species. The juveniles proceed through four stages, at which
              time claws have developed. Stage four lobster's are then released
              to the marine environment for their remaining growth cycle.

              Hatchery Facility

              Although the current marine hatchery is located in the basement
              of the Town Office, plans call for a larger facility if the trial
              project is successful. Figure 12 shows the plan and elevation
              views of a single story hatchery building, and the areas in which
              specific parts of the hatchery process are contained. The esti-
              mated design and construction costs of the hatchery building are
              $12,000 and $150,000, respectively. Some of the design criteria
              important in a hatchery building include the following:

                   1.   Concrete floors for water splash and ease of clean up.
                   2.   Floor slopes ranging from one quarter to one eighth
                        inch per foot.
                   3.   Lighting 25% higher than normal.
                   4.   PVC piping.

                   5.   Oil fired heat.
                   6.   Sanitation considerations from one stage of the
                        hatchery process to another.
                   7.   PVC molded valves.
                   8.   Provisions for adequate ventilation during the summer,
                        as well as Venetian blinds to control sunlight.
                   9.   A good supply of clean salt water.
                  10.   Assurance that no copper, zinc or brass fittings come
                        in contact with the hatchery water.
                  11.   Retractable electrical receptacles of waterproof
                        variety.
                  12.   All wiring to be of black rubber.
                  13.   Waterproof electrical switches
                  14.   Adequate air compressors with @ackup and insurance that
                        air supply will not be interrupted.
                  15.   Stand-by generator.

              Hatchery Operation

              The operation of the hatchery begins in February and ends in
              October. It is a seven (7) day a week operation requiring
              approximately two (2) people. The water supply required for a
              typical hatchery ranges between 100 to 200 gallons per minute.
              Tank requirements for lobsters are based upon 8,000 to 10,000
              lobsters per 240 gallons. If clams are to be raised, 1.5 to 2
              million clams require 120 gallons.
