Waterfront Action Grant Program Dear Ms Ruooff: We are writing to indicate our interest in applying for a Waterfront Action Grant in the upcoming 1990 CZM Program. As you know, we have had an on-going s sof planning, design and implementation actions on the Penobscot Riverfront in Bangor. At present, we find a multitude of needs to continua with this process. The office of Comprehensive Planning through the Maine Coastal Program has been very generous inassisting us in our efforts on the waterfront over the years and w would hope to be able to continue along the direction that previous studies and plane have lead u r (We are presently doing a harbor management plan jointly with the Cityof Brewer under a CZM Planning Grant.) At present, we have several potential projects which w would like to discuss with you. Briefly they can be summarized as follows: 1. Final Design. Replacement of Bulkhead This would provide for the final design of the replacement of the timber bulkhead extending from the Waterfront Park to the upper end of the railroad yard, along the properties formerly owned by Irving Oil, Superior Paper, and Cole Energy. The tentative recommendation is to install a sheet -steel bulkhead, Ms Francine Rudloff Page 2 January 12, 1990 having a total length of approximately eleven hundred feet and a rage height of approximately thirty feet above the river bottom. The purpose of the project would be to stabilize the severe erosion which i c Presently occurring, and to make the adjacent property citable for redevelopment as part of our Waterfront Plan. The total estimated cast of the final design, including test borings and other survey work, is approximately $50,000.00. 2. ExIension of Dinghy Float and Installation of Share Power Sf ations This project was submitted last year, but w not approved. The purpose is to provide more capacity for dinghies, required by the ever increasing number of boats using the river, and to provide better facilities for visiting boaters. Total estimated cost is 810,000.00. 3. Provide Sewage Pump -out Station Municipal Float This is a project that we believe will soon be required in most a where a significant number of boats are moored, and would provide for the installation of a Sewage Pump -out Station at the float to accept the discharge of sewage from Boats, from which point it would be pumped into the city sewer system. The total estimated cast i not known, but is estimated to he less than 850,000.00. The local share could possibly be funded out of the City's Sewer Fund. 4. Construct Public Access, Waterworks It has been proposed by the tentative developers of the Waterworks property that the City develop a park and public a at the upper end of the site, including the gatehouse and the c ecting walkways. Coupled with that development, we feel that the existing Deane Pump located within the building should be cosmetically restored, since s it i of historical significance to the community. v Wewouldestimate that this project could cost 4300,00n.00. 5. install Historic Plaques on the Waterfront This project would provide for the installation of Historic Plaques along the walkways leading from the central business district to the waterfront, describing Ms. Francine Rudoff Page 3 January 12, 1990 the history of various locations, and the geography of the river. This project would cast approxlmately $25,000.00. We woullike to meet with you and discuss these projects further tsee if you could provide us with direction as to what might make the most sense for us to include in a application or applications for Waterfront Action Grant funding.. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to reviewing these projects with you. KRG/j osincerely yours, Director R. Gibb Director
