The Sheepscot River is one of eight federally protected Maine rivers containing native populations of endangered Atlantic salmon.
Chuck Vaughan, chairman of the committee that has been pursuing the repair project since Whitefield voters last November approved saving and repairing the dam, presented cost estimates to the budget committee.
