Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Updates to floodplain, coastal and wetland, and/or hazard mitigation plansUpdated plans should consider the impact of both current and projected extreme weather and natural disaster-related conditions (e.g., coastal flooding, proximity to a flood plain, and the frequency and severity of major storm events and droughts) on the long-term safety, stability and suitability of the proposed land reuses.
Evaluate Reuse options that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disastersDiscussion of observed and forecasted natural hazard conditions and the associated site-specific risk are part of any reuse considerations. Both current and forecasted extreme weather events and natural disasters may impact the effectiveness of a remedial alternative.
Identify potential risk factors and infrastructure or utility vulnerabilitiesIdentify potential risk factors and infrastructure or utility vulnerabilities resulting directly from the impacts of increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Possible risk factors and vulnerabilities may include proximity to the ocean, infrastructure vulnerabilities, property affected by a revised FEMA flood plain, drought monitor, or wildfire risk map, vulnerability related to changes in frequency and intensity of precipitation events, vulnerability of soil type due to moisture and hydraulic changes, and ground and surface drinking water vulnerabilities.

Additional Property Attributes

The approximately 215-acre site, identified by the Town of East Millinocket as Parcel Number 0001-2-00000-010, was developed as the Great Northern Paper Mill in 1907, producing paper products as one of the region's largest employers until its closure in 2014. July 16, 2020. During its operation, the GNP mill complex comprised numerous buildings, a wood yard, a stormwater retention pond, aboveground oil storage tanks, storage sheds, parking areas, a vehicle maintenance garage, several pulp storage silos, and a wastewater treatment plant. Although the site is largely vacant at this time, numerous buildings and structures associated with the former mill operations remain present.
