Stormwater - Urban Impaired Streams - Sucker Brook
Sucker Brook does not have a Watershed-based Plan. Efforts to understand Sucker Brook have been undertaken in the form of a Stream Corridor and Watershed Survey, and a fluvial geomorphic assessment. A watershed based plan may be developed in the future.
The Stream Corridor and Watershed Survey was completed in October 2014 and includes a basic assessment of the stream. The City of Bangor, the Town of Hampden, and the Maine DEP worked in cooperation to complete the Survey and report.
A Geomorphic Assessment and Restoration Recommendations report was prepared by Field Geology Services for the City of Bangor and the Town of Hampden in 2023. This report included an overview of the morphology of the stream, as well as areas of interest for future improvements along the stream. The focus of this work is to identify areas where in-stream habitat can be improved, and also to identify any problem areas that might be addressed.
