Preamble. Whereas, Roxbury Pond in the Town of Roxbury, Oxford County and 
Webb Lake in the Town of Weld, Franklin County were overlooked in the study, 
"Maine's Finest Lakes," prepared by the Executive Department, State Planning Office in

Whereas, the study at that time was not completed due to a time and funding 
limitation; and 
Whereas, the "Maine Wind Energy Development Assessment" prepared by the 
Governor's Office of Energy Independence and Security in 2012 recognizes that 
cumulative visual impacts need to be considered in areas designated by the Maine Wind 
Energy Act as expedited permitting area; and 
Whereas, "Maine's Finest Lakes" is currently being used to determine the status of 
water bodies as scenic resources of state significance; and 
Whereas, there are many proposed projects and many projects in some stage of 
development within an 8-mile to 15-mile radius of Roxbury Pond and Webb Lake; and 
Whereas, it is essential that the Department of Environmental Protection assess 
these 2 areas before any future applications for wind power in these areas are processed; 
and 
Whereas, the Appalachian Trail, Tumbledown Mountain, Whitecap Mountain, 
Mahoosuc Land Trust, Mount Blue State Park, Mount Blue, Jackson Mountain, Little 
Jackson Mountain, Old Speck Mountain and many other notable mountains, trails and 
conservation areas as listed in the "Western Mountains Region Management Plan," 
adopted by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, Division of Parks 
and Public Lands, could also be negatively affected; now, therefore, be it 
Sec. 1.  Visual impact assessment.  Resolved:  That the Department of 
Environmental Protection shall authorize a visual impact assessment to be done by an 
independent 3rd party to review the scenic and visual attributes of Roxbury Pond in the 
Town of Roxbury, Oxford County and Webb Lake in the Town of Weld, Franklin County 
in the same manner as was done for the lakes that were assessed in the study, "Maine's 
Finest Lakes," prepared by the Executive Department, State Planning Office in 1989. 
SUMMARY

impact assessment be done by an independent 3rd party to review the scenic and visual 
attributes of Roxbury Pond in the Town of Roxbury, Oxford County and Webb Lake in 
the Town of Weld, Franklin County.
