Existing Conditions:

11. The proposal is located on a 9,896 acre lot in T3 R7 WELS. The lot is part of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. Seboeis Road, Sherman Lumber Co. Road and existing logging roads run through the lot as well as part of the East Branch Penobscot River. The lot is covered by large forested areas and wetlands with existing campsites and trails throughout the lot. On August 20, 2020, Road Permit RP 3301 was issued to Maine Waterside Trails for construction of East Branch Connector Road on the lot.

Proposal:

12. Proposed Activities: The applicant proposes to construct a 9,199 SF visitor contact station with all appurtenances, including a 16 ft. by 100 ft. utility building, six (6) parking areas and walking trails. The proposed project would be located on Lookout Mountain below the ridgeline. The proposed facility would be served by a complete, non-engineered subsurface sewage disposal system, would have a well drilled for water, and would be served by solar power. The proposed facility would be located within the General Management (M-GN) Subdistrict.

13. Site Location and Access: The proposed visitor contact station would be located on the East Branch Connector Road which connects Seboeis Road to Swift Brook Road.

14. Right, Title and Interest: The applicant has submitted a signed deed from Elliotsville Plantation, Inc. (currently known as Elliotsville Foundation, Inc.) to the United States of America for the entire parcel which included the reserved right of the grantor to construct, establish, and locate a visitor contact station and appurtenances including below ground utilities, waste management systems, and parking areas. The applicant has also submitted a notice of extension of term for exercise of reserved rights of Elliotsville Foundation, Inc. which shows the reserved rights are extended to August 12, 2023.

15. Technical and Financial Capacity: The applicant has hired professional consultants for design, permitting, and construction of the proposed project. Haley Ward would be responsible for permitting and design work, and Wright Ryan would be responsible for construction. The applicant estimates the project cost to be $10,600,000.00 and has provided a copy of their 2019 tax form 990-PF indicating there are sufficient funds available to complete the project.

16. Vehicular Circulation, Access and Parking: The applicant proposes access to the site via the East Branch Connector Road. There would be approximately 47 gravel, on-street, 45 degree angle parking areas along the road for regular traffic and a turnout loop for bus and RV parking and turning around with approximately 6 large parking spaces. The applicant proposes a speed


limit of 15 miles per hour and sight distances from the parking spaces in excess of 155 feet). The proposed parking areas would not block sight distances for passing vehicles and would be angled such that headlights of parked vehicles would not interfere with passing vehicles. Logging vehicles would not be expected to pass the proposed development and parking areas as evidenced by typical traffic patterns on existing roadways. A natural vegetative buffer would be maintained between the proposed structure and the roadway and parking areas.

17. Natural Character and Cultural Resources: The applicant has submitted photographs of current conditions and narratives to demonstrate how the proposal will minimize the visual impact from surrounding points of interest. The proposal would be located below the ridgeline of Lookout Mountain. All building materials used would blend into the natural surroundings. Existing vegetation would be removed only as necessary for construction and would be protected to the maximum extent possible. Parking areas would be located to minimize visual impacts from surrounding areas.

18. Noise and Lighting: The applicant has anticipated minimal noise associated with the proposal. Noise from construction equipment would be generated during construction, and after construction is completed, only vehicular traffic and occasional generator noise are anticipated. These noise levels would not be heard at the property boundaries. The proposed facility would have seasonal, daytime hours, and all non-essential lighting would be shut off outside of operating hours.

19. Soil Suitability: The applicant submitted a natural resource and soils investigation memo detailing vernal pool and natural resource surveys conducted onsite by a licensed soil scientist from Haley Ward. At the proposed development site, no wetlands, streams, or vernal pools were identified. The applicant also submitted an Explorations and Design Phase Geotechnical Engineering report, conducted by S. W. Cole Engineering, detailing soil explorations conducted onsite and design requirements based on the findings. The applicant proposes to incorporate the following measures during development as outlined in the report:

Removal of weathered bedrock using mechanical methods to construct on clean, sound bedrock,

Conducting earthwork during drier, non-freezing seasons, Engaging a licensed blasting contractor if blasting is necessary, Utilizing sumping and pumping dewatering techniques if groundwater is encountered to

maintain a water level at least 1 foot below planned excavation depths, Casting foundations and footings on clean, sound bedrock and properly prepared

subgrades with prestressed, Class I corrosion protection, grouted rock anchors, and Importing Granular Borrow and Structural Fill to backfill foundations.

Haley Ward completed four hand dug test pits and several hand auger borings, and S. W. Cole completed ten hand auger test pits and four solid-stem auger borings. Results from all borings were submitted by the applicant. Soils types identified were consistent with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service mapping and included Winnecook and Thorndike series soils. Bedrock was the limiting factor for all borings and test pits and ranged in depth from 1.1 to 11.2 feet.


In addition, four test pits were dug by a licensed site evaluator to determine the proposed location of the subsurface wastewater disposal system. Findings were consistent with other test pits onsite detailing well drained, stony fine sandy loam, profile 2A soils with 15% slopes and depth to bedrock ranging from 13 to 22 inches.

20. Solid Waste Disposal: Solid waste would be handled by the National Park Service. It would be transported by the National Park Service to their headquarters in Patten, Maine, where it would be picked up by Pine Tree Waste and transported to Juniper Ridge Landfill.

21. Subsurface Wastewater Disposal: The applicant provided an HHE 200 form for a proposed complete, non-engineered subsurface wastewater disposal system with no rule variance. The system is designed for a 1,140 gallon per day load.

22. Water Supply: The applicant is proposing an on-site well to provide water for public restrooms. It would be located and drilled in accordance with best management practices to prevent groundwater contamination.

23. Erosion and Sedimentation Control: The applicant has included an erosion and sediment control plan prepared by Haley Ward that would be implemented and maintained by the contractor, Wright Ryan, during construction, and would be maintained by the owner, the National Park Service, post construction. The erosion and sediment control plan includes a plan implementation schedule, a description or proposed erosion and sediment control measures, a list of materials required for those measures, a maintenance plan and schedule, inspection plans, schedule, and sample inspection log, and general housekeeping items for overall site compliance.

24. Groundwater Quality: The applicant is not proposing any activities that would affect groundwater quality.

25. Air Quality: The applicant is not proposing any activities that would affect air quality.

26. Protected Natural Resources: No essential habitats, archaeological sensitive areas or structures, rare botanical features or wetlands have been located or identified at the proposed project location.
