  "projectDescription": "Maine Rivers will improve fish passage at numerous sites in the Merrymeeting Bay Salmon Habitat Recovery Unit, one of three designated regions in Maine for restoring habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon, a NOAA Species in the Spotlight. Efforts will include multiple dam removals, culvert replacements, and construction of fish ladders and nature-like fishways. When completed, these efforts will improve access to significant stream habitat for Atlantic salmon and alewife. They will also support local communities by reducing flood risk and removing aging infrastructure.This project supports the removal of the Lemon Stream Dam on Lemon Stream in Starks. Engineering and design, as well as FERC surrender, permitting support, construction oversight, removal and as-built plans are included in this project.",
