American Iron and Metal (AIM) and Bucksport Mill LLC have petitioned the state to abandon dams on Toddy Pond as well as Alamoosook and Silver Lakes. Penobscot is working in conjunction with four other towns that border any of the water bodies to assure that these dams are not simply abandoned but transfer to an entity that will maintain the dams for years to come.
All donations to assist the town of Penobscot towards any legal fees would be appreciated. Send directly to the town. Make checks out or call to pay with credit card to Town of Penobscot with a memo Dam Legal Defense and send to PO Box 4, Penobscot 04476. Or visit Go Fund Me, Facebook or Instagram to support Save Our Ponds, to donate funds towards all ponds.
