AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine and federal environmental officials have signed off on a decision to use an $800,000 environmental settlement to fund restoration projects in Hampden, Charleston, Sedgwick and Brooksville.
The selected projects are located in Kenduskeag Stream, Sucker Brook and the Bagaduce River. The replacement of road culverts and installation of fishways are outlined in the final restoration plan for the Chevron Oil Terminal Facility in Hampden.
The settlement stems from multiple releases of oil at the former Chevron and Texaco marine oil terminal facilities in Hampden.
