DescBRCA's Milfoil Program seeks to protect aquatic ecosystems & public enjoyment of the lakes in the Belgrade Lakes watershed, by preventing and mitigating the spread of invasive aquatic plants. BRCA places both paid & volunteer boat inspectors at public boat launches to check for plant fragments on boats entering & leaving lakes, and educates boaters about the threat posed by invasive aquatic plants. BRCA also organizes Invasive Plant Patrols to search for invasive plants that may have become established in at-risk areas. In 2017, BRCA employed 20 part-time workers and worked with 14 volunteers to provide 5,061 hours of coverage, & inspected 10,419 boats on 5 public boat ramps and 1 private launch. In 2010, variable milfoil was found growing in the Great Meadow Stream that runs between North Pond and Great Pond. During the summer of 2017, BRCA worked in partnership with the Belgrade Lakes Association to mitigate the variable milfoil infestation and pulled approximately 17,500 gallons of variable milfoil, while employing 4 summer staff and many volunteers.Desc

DescThe primary goal of BRCA's Youth Conservation Corps is to protect the water quality of the Belgrade Lakes chain from degradation due to the impact of developed areas within the watershed. To accomplish this, the Conservation Corps employs 9 local students to complete erosion control projects in the Belgrade Lakes Watershed, reducing the input of sediment, phosphorus, and other pollutants into the lakes. Typical projects include shoreline riprap, bare soil stabilization, buffer plantings, infiltration structures, rain gardens, and runoff diversion. Projects are completed primarily on privately-owned property around the lakes, and homeowners pay only for the cost of materials used. The cost of planning, technical assistance and labor is paid for by donations from area lake associations, municipalities, businesses and private donors.Desc

DescStewardship Program: BRCA operates an active stewardship program to monitor conservation easements and ensure that the conservation values of fee properties are adequately protected. In 2017, each fee property and conservation easement was visited at least once to monitor conditions on the property. BRCA staff and volunteers completed work projects on several trails owned by BRCA in 2017. In all, 25 volunteers contributed 360 hours to help with the stewardship program. BRCA also contracted to provide stewardship services for the US Wildlife Land Trust (WLT), a national land trust with holdings in Maine. Under this contract, BRCA staff conducted monitoring visits to seven WLT properties and easements in Maine.Desc

$55,735$50,000$54,906Lakes Trust division: BRCA's Lake Trust program is a collaborative between BRCA and the five lake associations in the Belgrade Lakes watershed that was formed to: (1) Improve and maintain water quality in our lakes; (2) Build the capacity and strengthen the branding of lake associations; (3) Create public support and increase funding for water quality restoration. Through the Lake Trust, BRCA provides technical expertise and capacity-building assistance to the lake associations and facilitates watershed-wide discussion of water quality issues. Specific services provided by the Lake Trust include: providing staff support for water quality programs, facilitating monthly collaborative meetings between BRCA and the five-member lake associations, and providing direction for the Courtesy Boat Inspection Program and Youth Conservation Corps.
$38,928$2,000$12,250Education and Outreach Program: Program goals are to establish a strong environmental education program that provides services to schools and summer camps in the Belgrade Lakes region as well as to the general public, to increase public awareness of conservation issues & to encourage members of the public to make environmentally responsible choices. The Belgrade Lakes Watershed Education Initiative is a lake and watershed science environmental education program kickstarted in summer 2015. The goal of this initiative is to transform students' watersheds into a classroom, thereby forming meaningful connections with watershed health and their lives out of school. We believe that watershed science can be taught in all subjects and through this effort, we will foster the next generation of stewards of the Belgrade Lakes watershed. BRCA partners with: -Messalonskee High School, Messalonskee Middle School, Mt. Blue High School, Kents Hill School, Colby College, Thomas College, Camp Tracy, Camp Runoia, and the Maine Lakes Society.
$29,644$25,258$211,252Watershed Program: The BRCA Watershed Program conducts projects to improve water quality throughout the watershed. These projects are funded through Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) grants from the 319 Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program. The program partners with the Kennebec County Soil and Water Conservation District (KCSWCD). Projects include watershed surveys, education and outreach on water quality, watershed based plans, & designing and implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) for gravel roads or other erosion sites. Raised almost $170,000 for the East Pond Remediation project planned for 2018.
$23,153$10,000$11,300Land Trust division: BRCA's Land Trust Program develops plans and strategies for conserving land through fee purchases and conservation easements. Potential properties are evaluated using our long-term conservation plan and the Land Trust Committee negotiates purchases or donations with landowners and works to raise funds with a capital campaign. One of our major projects, the Kennebec Highlands was conducted in partnership with the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, partially funded by the Land for Maine's Future (LMF) program. Our priorities are to expand high value wildlife habitat and protect water quality while expanding low-impact recreational opportunities in the watershed. The following is from BRCA's strategic plan: Responsibilities are to develop and apply criteria for selecting land or conservation easements for BRCA acquisition; select target properties for BRCA ownership or conservation easements; negotiate purchases and donations of land or easements with landowners; coordinate with Stewardship Committee to identify long-term goals and costs of ownership or easement of properties prior to acquisition decisions; document all steps of the land acquisition process in accordance with LTA Standards and Practices; and apply for grants and conduct capital campaigns to fund land and easement acquisition. Goals are to add to the conserved land area in the Belgrade Lakes region in accordance with a long range conservation plan; to protect areas that provide high-value habitat and/or are important to the water quality of the Belgrade Lakes; to expand existing conservation lands and establish wildlife and trail corridors to connect natural areas; and to expand recreational opportunities by linking existing trails and properties, creating canoe/kayak trail, etc.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule D, Part II, Line 5The Belgrade Regional Conservation Alliance's (BRCA) Conservation Easement Monitoring Policy: Every parcel on which BRCA holds an easement will be monitored at least once a year. Monitoring will be done by BRCA staff or trained volunteers. The monitor will follow established procedures and will thoroughly document the result of the monitoring visit. Monitoring report forms will be kept on file at the BRCA office. Whenever a new conservation easement is acquired, the Stewardship Committee will, within six months of the easement signing, consider the monitoring requirements of the easement, establish an appropriate monitoring schedule, and appoint a monitor for the property. When a landowner exercises reserved rights requiring notification of BRCA, one or more additional monitoring visits will be made to ensure that the activities are carried out in accordance with the easement. The landowner will be informed in advance of all monitoring visits and invited to attend. Following the visit, the owner will be informed in writing of the results of the visit, whether they were present or not. The person conducting an official monitoring visit on an easement may not be the owner of the property. Whenever possible, the same person will monitor an easement from year to year.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9BRCA Conservation Easements are valued using the zero valuation method.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4The purpose of the BRCA Endowment Fund is to fund the long-term management of BRCA fee lands and conservation easements. The purpose of the BRCA Legal Defense fund is to fund legal defense of BRCA fee lands and conservation easements. The Youth Conservation Corps account provides annual operating funds to that program.
