The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District received a permit application to conduct work in waters of the United States from the Maine Department of Transportation for proposed work in an unnamed tributary to the Cathance River where it crosses under Interstate 295 in Topsham, Maine.

Work is scheduled to take place later this year between June 1 and October 31.
