Due to the costly new regs, the dam owners—Woodland Pulp mill that employs approximately 500 Mainers—worked w/ state & local government to allow the State of Maine to assume ownership of the dam

However, FERC is preventing this transfer from happening, meaning Woodland may have to remove the dam, which would result in devastating consequences for the entire region by drastically changing river & lake levels & displacing local wildlife, residents & jobs

I’m working toward a commonsense solution to protect the environment, local wildlife, the local community residents & small businesses, & these hundreds of jobs in Washington County
