Students Share Preliminary Findings on Lincoln Vernal Pool, BDN Reports
The Bangor Daily News reported students from the University of Maine’s School of Forest Resources have reported preliminary findings related to a study of suspected wetlands near Lincoln Regional Airport that threatens the town’s ability to develop an industrial zone outside of a local paper mill’s campus. The town is paying the students about $1,050 to determine the environmental significance of the vernal pools, according to the article. After reviewing the land in early May, the students reported that many of the areas that town officials feared might be wetlands requiring preservation are insignificant vernal pools, the article states. A final determination on how much of the industrial park is compromised is expected in July.
