  "projectDescription": "The Moosehead (aka Upper and Mayo Mill) Dam is a 12-foot-high, 150-foot-long reinforced concrete structure that creates a 30-acre impoundment on the mainstem of the Piscataquis River in the heart of downtown Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Despite the presence of a fishway at the Moosehead Dam, both upstream and downstream fish passage at the site remains a substantial impediment to Atlantic salmon and other species, significantly reducing the numbers of fish that can effectively use the high-quality spawning habitat found upstream, which is critical to their survival. Addressing fish passage challenges at the dam is a key consideration for the Town in any future actions given the regulatory compliance required of the Town for fish passage under FERC, state and federal laws. ASF and partners are assisting Dover-Foxcroft in navigating next steps for the future of the Moosehead Dam and appurtenant facilities.  We propose to support a community-based visioning process for the dam and surrounding area to identify mutually beneficial solutions for the Town of Dover-Foxcroft and the ecological resources in the Piscataquis River, to conduct a feasibility and alternatives assessment for the project area, and to obtain funding for and help implement the a plan of action chosen by the Town that meets its varied needs and restores safe, timely, and effective upstream and downstream fish passage for all native migratory fish species, based on regulatory compliance.",
