Frequently asked questions
The Androscoggin is tidal here. Does a milldam still matter?
The dam is not the tide. The tide is the ocean arriving up the river as far as the falls. A milldam changes the terrace hydrology; the tide changes whether an October outfall can empty. A cellar on the flats can wet from a high tide with the dam behaving itself. Two structures, two jobs.
The outfall ran backwards during the storm. What causes that?
A high tide on the tidal reach. When the water outside is above the pipe, an October storm cannot discharge and the outfall becomes an inlet. Nothing on the property failed; the receiving end was higher than the outlet.
The house is on the college terrace. Is the clay still involved?
Under the house, less so — that terrace is older ground. The problem there is October runoff onto the downhill wall and the same freeze-up timing. The NAS clay and the flats are the tidal story. The terrace is a hillside story that still takes the wettest month into winter.
