Saco stream hearing on Bear Brook plant prevents lowering its class
Verdal notes the brook runs clear with no odor and asks if the new sewage plant will impair fishing. Officials say the aim is to avoid lowering the stream’s classification, maintain high standards, and show no odor. A 1958 survey found boating and swimming conditions satisfactory but water not potable. The plan may affect Goose Fare Brook and clam digging, though officials insist fishing will not be impacted. The commission will rule soon after hearings.
