Background Information: The initial idea for this Project grew out of a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, GK -12 Serums(, between the University of Maine College ofEagineering and Bangor IBgh School (BHS) that began last summer. In this duce -year grant (wah a song possibility for six years), ten to twelve PhD. and Masters students in engineering at UMaine, ak.a. Fellows, work with BHS teachers and surdews for approximately ten Mars per week. The intent of me Senvarst grant is to interest The Fellows in teaching, to involve high school students mresearch, and to interest high school students science,technology, engineering, and mathematics. Principal Investigator of the Sensonl grant is Dr. John Vetelino, Professor ofElectrical and Computer Engineering and a founding member of the primary sensors research group at UMame (LAAST). Co -Principal Investigators are Dr. Constance Holden, Spatial Information Sciame hurt Engineering, and Stephen Godsoe, Mathematics Chairman at BHS. Community projects involving sensors were especially appealing for BBS students and teachers, and the talented Fellows, ahn after large group meetings during the summer, fill and winter, the community partners decided that the Kerdmskeag Stream project was a normal. Especially helpful m this process were twenty teachers from Bangor High School ni collaboration with Mark WhiSing - Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Ken Beland, Peter Rid saris -Atlantic Salaam Cat oissi n (ASC), Jim Rung, John Munphy, Mark Ward - City Engineering, David Gould -,City Planning, Saar Moses- Commurdty Devehrwat t, Brad Moore.- Superintendent of Bangor Wastewater, Frank Comeau, Derns Crune- Bangor Parks and Recreation, Community Development, Tandy Easter- Penobscot Spit and Water Conservmim (PSWC), Judy Mukcwsky-Maine Audubon, La Poisson and Trudi Plummer- Maine Discovery Museum, Cheryl Dondma - Craig Brook Hatchery, Jonathan Stewart - Phsga & Day (Professional Two] Surveyors), and Dan Kitchens and Stuart Lee -NOAA. Historical Perspective: The Kenduskeag Stream has been characterized as a Class A stmam in Class C condition (as classified by the Maine DEP), It is a tributary ofthe Penobscot which is listed as Class B by the DEP. This project focuses on the Kenduskeag as it flows from Six -Mile Falk (about six miles V the womm) through Bangor to the Penobscot. The Penobscot had the Kenduskeag) are home to many fish, including active brook Real landlocked salmon, smallmou[h bass, white perch and chain pickerel. Sea -inn species include Atlantic salvor, alewives, Americam shad, American eel, sea lamprey, striped bass, nrrwd. rainbow smelt and occasional Atlantic avageon The Penobscot is best known for its large historic salmon run (100,000 or more adults) and its much smaller contemporary run, which is approximately 67%ofthe Atlantic salmon run remaining in the United Stales (1,0004,000 adults in recent decades). To appreciate t1w Stream's present condition, one should refer to the hisrory ofthe region In 1604, Samuel de Champlain sailed into Penobscot Bay, up the Penobscot River, and anchored at the mouth of what is now the Kenduskeag Stream searching for Notumbega, the lost Girt of gold. In 1769 the firm Europeans settled at the mouth ofthe Kanduskeng ("eel-catcldng place" to Native Americans) and several years, the race ofthe plantation switched from Kadesquit to Condeskeag to Conduskeag to, finally, Kend,"o- g. The town was incorporated in 1791, and the name was changed to Bangor. By the mid-aineteeigh century, Bangor had grown to 20,000 people, and bad evolved into a major trade center. The Penobscot River, connecting the large pine forests to the north and the Mantic Ocean to the south became the catalyst for the development of Begot as the largest port tithe world hr the shipping of lumber inthe 1870's. From the City's web site lee atuskeag meambbigh "About 150 years ago, Hemy David Thoreau wrote in "The Maine Woods," "50 miles up the Penobscot, at the head of navigation fir vessels ofthe largest class, the principal lumber depot on this continent, with a population of 12,000, like a stat on the edge of night, sed hewing athe forests of which it is built, already overflowing with the luxaries and refinement ofEumpe, and sending its vessels to Spain, to England, and to the West Indies." "During his travels to Bangor, Thoreau oflev hiked along the Keaduskeag Stream and noted the plant and flower life along its shores. Even today, along 150 years later, it is easy to see Thoreau's exaction to the still -wild stream sires, it retains much of its manual character. In bet, the disappeazance ofthe downs of sawmills that once Sued the sperm in the mid- to late I800S may have enhanced the ream's beauty to being even greater than when Thoreau walked its hanks. The stream has survived tla pollution and environmental damage wrought by Bangor's once-aHIuem and prodigious lumber industry, it has survived the stepping of raw sewage fir the early to latter part ofthe 20th century, and it made h through the Urban Renewal movement ofthe 19605 that threatened to conceal the ream's Path through downtown Bangor w duadespiav Puma va malls overhead.

Maine by William Jordan (1881- 1975) copyright 1989, Father John Publications. "In 1898 the sabron fishing at the Bangor Not on the Penobscot was said to be the Stem within the Limits ofthe United States. Can you imagine hooking a thirty-pruvd salmon and taking him with rod and! reel? It has happened many Innes. for 1892 one hundred sahmen were caught in the Bangor Pool and then aggregate Wright was 1859 pounds. In one season during the 18905 a Bangor harbor dealer caught and landed twenty-seven sainan, weighing a rate of 500 pounds. In 1960 not one salmon was taken from the Burger Pool" There is a very goad reason that no when were caught in 1960. The Penobscot srrd Kenduskeag have had to copped with serious pollution in the report past. Assimara City Engineer, John Murphy writes: 'The embr sewer records data back to around 1850, atoms, where cesspools and open ditches were the dominant waste disposal method. As development took place, piped sewers became more common to take residential sewage to the closest brook As more and more sewage entered the brooks, the conditions became intolerable, agd,tstge Irick pipes- wren constructed to carry the combined storm and accuracy flows to either the Kenduskeag Stream or the Penobscot Riva. By the early 1960s, the Stream and the River were essentially dead, wiW dissolved odour were atrocious. Fishingand water wtnact recreation were vovedneac, and odors were atrocious. At that pont, Seager began a multiyear nt progamwcoven and treatle ntercewstabyconstructing wastervarar treatment pleat 5 1968, and adischarge interceptor sewer system to collect flours tont approximately 25 sewer than discharged wastewater into the Stream and River.

When the Atlantic Salmon finally reamed w the Pembscot,.it was am the greaten triumphs for the City ofBamgor end its residers in firs history. Present Condition of the Kendusheag Stream Watershed: As quoted from the PSWC website Qdtp www penobscatswcd orehmduskeae Mm) "The Kenduskeag Stream, and the cache KtoxmAeag Stream Watershed, is located within the boundaries of Penobscot County. The 36 -mile long Kenduskeag Stream contains approximately 137,000 acres ofdrairage area to as confluence with the Penobscot River mthe City ofBaspen. The Kerduskeag at the mon ut neavely fanned warenshed in the Penobscot River Basin. The Kenduskeag drainage is only percent of the Penobscot, yet contains more then 40 percent of the agricultural land m the watershed. That represvas 16,500 acres ofcroplaud, pasture and Layland. Approximately 88 percent of the watershed is forested. Over 80,000 people five in the greater Bangor region, and an additional 23,000 people live in the Kenduskeag Stream Watershed. Recreational use of the Kenduskeag Smear and its tributaries include: fishing, swimming, boating carweiug, scenic opportunities and streamside parks. Bac recreational use is far from it's potential due to degraded water quality. Our ultimate goal is to have the Kenduskeag Stream rating become "Class A"." It is the intern of this partnership with the funding of the NOAA'gmm to complete the Main Objective and the objectives of the Work Plan. We then irevdw form alliances with the other communities man agencies invohred withthe Kenduskeag to reach the stated goal of PSWC to see the Kenduskeag Stream anted as "Class A". . Work Plan: Task 1. Kendusheag Stream Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Objective; To identify threats to the Kenduskeag Shaman and its active fishes and take measures to fix these threats in a way that is most protective of the fish while maandra vg public access for rareatioval purposes. Project:(FellowswJlassistwhereverpossible) The project location includes the Keadudmag Stream from the Bulls -Eye Bridge to its confluence with the Penobscot in downtown Bangor. The Kevduskeag park extends through approximately 1/3 of the project segment providing 2.5 miles of waiting hails as well as hosting kayaking, canoeing and recreationul fishing activities daroughon the spring and summer. Restoration in this segment will save to enhance fish habitat for mauve fishes including several anadromous species (Athmtic salmUn, shad, alewives, lampreys, herring, and sniped bass). It will also serve 0 improve on water quaky in the Bangor area in an effort to make the Kevduslreag dater for recreational activities. Restoration efforts include idevti[}wg and erasing a GIS layer of pollution and erosion ales whldn the segment. Acombinedeffortamongthe city, wvservati0nprofrsswvas, Bangor High School, the Army reserves, and volunteers will clean up the Keduskeag stream removing trash and debris left over from past industrial uses and a all sources ofp0llutsn originating from the Franklin Sheet combined sewer overflow, ma- point son= ofpollufion, and erosion.
