 This is Maine Public Radio News. Good morning. I'm Erwin Gratz at 1104. A federal appeals court has ruled against Brookfield, which operates Shawmut Dam along the Kennebec River. The state was planning to deny a permit for Shawmut in 2021, concerned about passage of endangered Atlantic salmon. The state also denied an updated proposal from Brookfield in 2022. The Department of Environmental Protection said it didn't have time to evaluate Brookfield's changes and needed additional information from federal agencies.
