Bankruptcy Judge Michael Fagone ruled Friday that the Clary Lake dam can be sold to the Clary Lake Association, the Portland Press Herald reported. Delivering an oral decision, Judge Fagone also stripped the restrictive covenants from the dam property and allowed its transfer to go forward unburdened by a mortgage, pending a 14-day appeal period. The judge did not wipe away the tax liens the town of Whitefield holds on the property, the water level order imposed by the state Department of Environmental Protection or easements that allow access to the mill house on top of the dam.
