Presumpscot River Secret Deal is Dead

It seems SAPPI has backed out of the secret deal with the State, FOPR, and American Rivers. We are not sure really why but we believe the deal did not seem so sweet to SAPPI. Reforming the riverbed to allow fish passage was more than SAPPI could bear.

We imagine that engaging in this deal has cost FOPR and their backer American Rivers considerable tens of thousands of dollars. It was a great waste.

Now it is back to square one with fishway proceedings at Cumberland Mills. Our motto is never make deals with SAPPI.
