Spotlight: Watershed Management Plan
MLPOA and Winchendon Springs Lake Association are in the process of applying for a grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to fund a watershed-based study of the area surrounding Lake Monomonac. The grant, 604(b) funds ultimately from the EPA, will help identify sources of, and ways to eliminate, phosphorus and other pollutants throughout the watershed. With a Watershed-Based Management Plan in hand, federal monies will be available to fund those projects. In brief, we are working to restore our water quality.

Best Practices
Spring Clean-Up with Care
TIP: Wait to rake! Beneficial animals like salamanders use last year’s leaves to stay warm until they can make their way to our lakes and ponds. When nights stay above 50F, dispose of yard waste like leaves and grass clippings properly away from lakes, streams, or storm drains.
Why: Organic material adds excess nutrients to lakes, promoting harmful algae blooms.
