The project continued to focus on the highest priority subwatershed of the river, which contains the greatest amount of critical habitat for spawning and rearing juvenile salmon. This subwatershed extends southward from the outlet of Deer Lake to the outlet of Beddington Lake. Best Management Practices were installed at six of the remaining priority NPS sites. All BMP installation work was done by a contractor certified by the Maine DEP’s contractor certification program. 

 
Treating these sites significantly reduced the amount of sediment washing into the river annually, protecting critical salmon habitat. The project also helped educate landowners about proper BMPs so that these practices will be used and maintained properly during future work in the watershed.
