Dear Water District:

Mr. Steven Levy of the Maine Rural Water Association called today expressing your concern about future water levels on Anasagunticook Lake. The new owner of the dam (State I.D. No. 176), Gary Richards, has told us of his interest to generate power at this dam. He has not made formal application for a license and according to our Hydropower Coordinator is at least six months away from being able to do so. He already knows that a Water Level has been established for the lake by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission (see enclosed copy) and that he must deal with it in his plans.

Also enclosed is a copy of the September 1983 Maine Dam Inspection Regulation and Abandonment Act for your information.

If you have any questions you may call me at 289-2111

Sincerely,

Donald L. Anderson
Dams Unit
Bureau of Land Quality Control
