One example of such large-scale development and intensive use is the proposed campground expansion on the southern end of the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Since acquiring Beaver Brook Campground approximately two years ago, and rebranding as Jellystone Park\u2122 Androscoggin Lake, the new corporate owner has made a series of proposals for a significantly expanded commercial development on its property abutting Androscoggin Lake\u2019s shoreline.<\/p>\n<p>Experts in Maine state government have determined that part of Jellystone\u2019s property includes a \u201cFocus Area of Statewide Ecological Significance\u201d that is home to rare plants, wildlife habitats, and wetlands crucial to Androscoggin Lake\u2019s water quality.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent with its mission to preserve and protect the water quality, wildlife, and natural beauty of Androscoggin Lake, ALIC has played a leading role in raising environmental concerns and questions related to Jellystone\u2019s master plan. This plan seeks to increase occupancy to more than 4,000 people a day, to build a new multi-level slide and play structure that includes a new 20,000 square foot splashpad pool, and to add in excess of 150 \u201cpark model\u201d living units that resemble mobile homes.<\/p>\n<p>At numerous Wayne Planning Board hearings, ALIC representatives have presented information and data concerning water quality, wastewater pollution, strain on groundwater resources, and threats from invasive species from increased boat traffic at Jellystone.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of a group of generous donors, ALIC retained Pierce Atwood LLP, one of Maine\u2019s leading law firms, to draft a Campground\/RV Park Moratorium Ordinance. Through volunteer efforts in submitting a Citizen\u2019s Petition, the Moratorium Ordinance was scheduled for a town-wide vote on April 16, 2024. Voters approved, and as a result, the Moratorium Ordinance places a six-month pause on future development\/expansion proposals for Campground\/RV Park uses. This will give stakeholders time to revamp Wayne\u2019s zoning regulations to ensure greater protection for Androscoggin Lake.<\/p>\n<p>ALIC is committed to continuing the effort to protect our lake from environmentally-unsound commercial development. Your support is crucial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Threats from Over Development Large-scale residential and commercial development on or near shoreland property can create significant risk to Androscoggin Lake\u2019s water quality and environmental balance.
