Resolve, To Require The Department Of Environmental Protection To Assess Existing Water Retention Structures And Water Levels

This resolution requires Maine's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to assess all water retention structures (including dams) and water levels in lakes and ponds containing such structures. The DEP must examine erosion issues and other effects of rising water levels. The department must submit a report on this assessment to the legislature by December 3, 2025. This is a procedural requirement for information gathering, not a policy change affecting specific groups or creating new regulations.
