In May 2005, the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership, in conjunction with the New Meadows River Steering Committee, initiated a study to identify and evaluate the feasibility of technical alternatives to improve water quality and enhance the natural resources of the New Meadows Lake. The study actively seeks the input of stakeholders and the general public through a series of public forums.

This web page provides access to all documents, reports, notes, announcements, and other relevant electronic files developed during the course of this study. The documents listed below are posted in chronological order.
