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
Prepare for Spring Runoff
TIP: Inspect and clean gutters and storm drains to ensure proper water flow, directing runoff to grassy or permeable areas rather than hard surfaces.
Why: As the snow melts in early spring, excess runoff can carry pollutants into lakes if not properly managed.
