The Department of Environmental Services has released a comprehensive report on its near-term and long-term recommendations to control invasive variable milfoil in the Ossipee Lake system. Non-native milfoil was discovered in Broad Bay in 1995, and the latest infestation was found in the big lake near the mouth of the Pine River in 2012. Click below to read or download the report.
Alliance Report
The Smart Report: Almost Full
We have been experiencing real winter weather and snow. Looks like almost 2/3 of the snow cover has melted or turned to ice, and the temperature has been below zero many nights in the last ten days.
The Smart Report: The Lake’s Ups and Downs
A December flood is not an unusual occurrence, but so far the high water has been minimal, with the bays and Danforth Pond now iced-over.
The Smart Report: Level Going Down
Still great weather, but the autumn drawdown means winter is right around the corner.
Unmonitored Water Bodies – a Safe Haven for Invasive Species
New Ossipee Lake Alliance survey shows 21 milfoil-infested New Hampshire lakes, ponds, and rivers do not have an ongoing weed control program.
