Operational Plan for the Restoration of Diadromous Fishes to the ...

21.1.1 Strategy: Develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
(MDIFW) for selectively removing non-native and undesirable
fish species at the Veazie fishway trap and other fish passage
facility trapping locations (e.g. Mattaceunk Dam) prior to the
removal of Veazie and Great Works dams and installation of the
Howland bypass.
21.1.2 Strategy: Develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
(MDIFW) for selectively removing non-native and undesirable
fish species at the Milford fish lift fish sorting facility (post Veazie
and Great Works dam removal)
21.1.3 Strategy: Establish list, protocols, and measures for removing or
allowing passage of non-native and undesirable fish species at
fishway trapping locations
21.1.4 Strategy: Undertake with other resource agencies risk
assessments of range expansion for undesirable fish species
21.1.5 Strategy: Develop Memorandum of Understandings with
resource agencies and fish passage facility operators to prevent
upstream movements of non-native/undesirable fish species at
fish passage facilities
21.2 Measure: Modify fish passage facilities to prevent upstream movement
of undesirable fish species
21.2.1 Strategy: Assess with other resource agencies physical and/or
temporal modifications to fish passage facility operations that
may selectively restrict passage of undesirable fish species prior
to the removal of Veazie and Great Works and installation of the
Howland bypass.
21.2.2 Strategy: Obtain funding to structurally modify fish passage
facilities
