Having a separate pedestrian walkway on this bridge would make it safer for EVERYONE -- and a lot of pedestrians and bicyclists use the bridge, as it is the way to get from one track of preserved land to another, and also the areas where local teens swim!

The state also says that Sears Island wouldn’t require dredging, but Sprague has said those requirements would be reduced under its new plan.<br>In the meantime, Italiaander and other Sears Island advocacy groups are poring through the details of DOT’s federal grant application.</p><p>"DOT, for example, has proposed relocating the Sears Island access road so it would cut through a corner of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> area.</p><p>"That’s a concern, Italiaander said.

But let’s keep to the more recent offshore wind record of broken promises and undisclosed development activity. </p><p>"During the Governor’s announcement in February, [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GovJanetMills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GovJanetMills</span></a>] claimed, without supporting data, that Sears Island development 'will cost less' and 'is expected to result in less environmental harm' than would development of a state-owned but privately operated offshore wind facility at Mack Point.</p><p>"The 'cost less' assertion raised major questions not yet answered in part because, a few months earlier, at the last OSWPAG meeting, we were told, 'The total project cost for construction is very similar for both MP ($460 Million Total Project Cost) and SI ($470 Million Total Project Cost).'</p><p>"Sears Island’s current <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/undeveloped" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>undeveloped</span></a>, natural condition, provides important ecological services to the region and state, especially for fisheries, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonSequestration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonSequestration</span></a> and publicly accessible recreation. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MackPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MackPoint</span></a> does not provide these ecological services. According to a reliable source, every acre of intact Sears Island forest locks up between 80 and 100 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year – <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CO2</span></a> that cannot harm our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a>.</p><p>"Developing Sears Island proposes removing all vegetation and life from more than 100 acres on Sears Island, nearly one-third of which is existing or historical <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wetland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wetland</span></a>, and then harvesting 1.4 million cubic yards of soil to create an impermeable, nearly level work area. Doing so constitutes radical, permanent, irreparable ecological damage, forever eliminating current upland and associated marine <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> benefits. This exactly flips an appropriate climate-change response and dramatically undermines any claim that developing Sears Island instead of Mack Point represents the least environmentally damaging choice.</p><p>Broken Promises</p><p>"In 2007, the state promised to choose <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MackPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MackPoint</span></a> as the preferred location for future marine transportation development. The Sears Island agreement, signed by 38 stakeholders including the Maine Department of Transportation, and adopted as state policy by then-Governor Baldacci and the State of Maine’s Joint Standing Committee on Transportation, says: 'Mack Point shall be given preference as an alternative to port development on Sears Island.'</p><p>"The Sears Island agreement also committed the State of Maine from ever harvesting soil from the island. Ever. Not one cubic yard of soil would be harvested and certainly not 1.4 million cubic yards of soil!</p><p>Sadly, the Governor’s announcement and subsequent actions taken by MDOT toward developing Sears Island render the promises made in 2007 by our government worthless.</p><p>Broken Laws</p><p>"But highly questionable governmental actions in pursuit of developing Sears Island continue. In March this year the Governor brought forward the sand dune bill that allows violation of sand <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dune</span></a> system protections on Sears Island and creates a dangerous threat in the future for any environmental law that may interfere with MDOT development aspirations. Though initially failing to pass in the House, the bill eventually became law after strong political pressure.</p><p>New Sears Island Road and Rail Corridor</p><p>"And now we come to the MDOT application for a federal grant specifically to develop Sears Island. Nestled within several documents associated with the grant application is page 2 of a two-drawing file titled, Sears Island Wind Port Concept Drawing 2024-04-29, copy attached or available at <a href="https://www.maine.gov/mdot/grants/infra/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">maine.gov/mdot/grants/infra/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.</p><p>"The illustration depicts a new 'heavy load' access road and rail corridor as part of Sears Island development plans for the first time, at least in public.</p><p>"As proposed, the new approximately 2,300-foot-long rail and road access corridor passes through a thickly wooded portion of the island, crossing at least two perennial streams and disturbing additional wetlands along the way. Assuming a 100-foot width, the corridor would destroy more than 5.25 acres of intact natural landscape, in addition to the more than 100-acre upland ecological destruction at the facility site proper.</p><p>"Adding insult to injury, the proposed new road and rail corridor requires changing the conservation easement boundary in the vicinity.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FriendsOfSearsIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FriendsOfSearsIsland</span></a> Vice President Rolf Olsen received confirmation of the new road and rail access plan from Kay Rand in response to his query. Rand also substantiated that the new access corridor would cross a portion of the conservation parcel and necessitate a change in that parcel’s boundary.</p><p>"According to budget information included with the grant application, clearing, grubbing, excavation and borrow, grading, drainage, erosion control, paving and other work related to this access corridor will add $8 million to the cost of developing Sears Island. Mack Point already provides both a heavy load road and rail.</p><p>"The new Sears Island rail and road access corridor presents yet another failure by MDOT to incorporate an honest understanding of climate change into decision-making.

DoomsdaysCW<p>OpEd: Opposing wind port on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SearsIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SearsIsland</span></a> protects <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a></p><p>"I strongly oppose the decision by Gov. Mills and the Maine Department of Transportation to locate a wind port on Sears Island in Waldo County. This is wrongly being touted as the least environmentally harmful location for a port, largely based on its requiring less dredging to establish access than using an available site at nearby Mack Point.</p><p>Placing a port on Sears Island would destroy upwards of 100 acres of woodland and a sand dune habitat and be very harmful to the thousands of migrant birds that pass through the island. Mack Point is already highly industrialized and offers little benefit to birds and other wildlife. Claiming that Sears Island is the least environmentally harmful is simply inaccurate.</p><p>One of the unmentioned reasons for the state’s desire to develop Sears Island is likely that it offers room for future port expansion, whether that be for assembling wind towers or anything else <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MDOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MDOT</span></a> wishes to do. MDOT controls 300 acres on the island and will surely find reasons to expand once it establishes a foothold.</p><p>"Sears island is highly important to birds and is one of the premier locations in the state for observing spring and fall migrant songbirds. It is sad that some of the state’s largest environmental organizations have not taken a firm stance against developing the island. Check out the Alliance for Sears Island website for more information, and I urge you to contact your state legislators and ask them to oppose a port on Sears Island."</p><p>John Wyatt<br>Winterport</p><p><a href="https://www.centralmaine.com/2024/05/22/letter-opposing-wind-port-on-sears-island-protects-wildlife-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">centralmaine.com/2024/05/22/le</span><span class="invisible">tter-opposing-wind-port-on-sears-island-protects-wildlife-2/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://allianceforsearsisland.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">allianceforsearsisland.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectSearsIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectSearsIsland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindTerminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindTerminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SandDunes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SandDunes</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Searsport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Searsport</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectWahsumkik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectWahsumkik</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wahsumkik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wahsumkik</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndangeredSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndangeredSpecies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheDunes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheDunes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GovernorJanetMills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GovernorJanetMills</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheForest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wassumkeag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wassumkeag</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AllianceForSearsIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllianceForSearsIsland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WednesdaysForWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WednesdaysForWildlife</span></a></p>
