Here are the statewide results if you didn't receive them directly from the LPC. 2012_loon_census_results (images/stories/pdfs/2012_loon_census_results.pdf) The Lake Section - Wildlife Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:19:29 +0100 http://www.pawtuckawaylake.com/content/view/399/207/ Dear Lake Host Point People, Please take a few minutes to read the DES press release below and please forward it to the hosts working at your lake and other interested parties in your lake/pond community. These two unfortunate examples stress how very important it is for lake and pond groups to be actively involved in both Lake Host prevention activities and Weed Water early detection activities. Keep up the great work!

Summer water levels could be much lower than normal, making boating unsafe, impacting water quality, and harming loon nests. The plan is theoretical, relying on untested computer models to reallocate water for downstream fish habitat and water supply Downstream communities (especially Durham) have not implemented mandatory water conservation measures. The best way to get up to speed on this subject is to go to the following web page and click on Lamprey River: http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/rivers/instream/ (http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/rivers/instream/) . You'll be taken to the info for our watershed, including three current conditions links. The Excel file titled Current Lamprey Insteam Flow Conditions takes awhile to load but it changes daily and provides a one-page status report, along with detailed data. To find the draft plan itself, click on Water Management Plan. The comments we submitted last year, as well as comments and more recent correspondence from the UDWS, are all under Task 11 (Comments to the Lamprey WMP). Over 100 lake residents attended the June 26th meeting held at the Nottingham Town Hall regarding the winter drawdown.

I am proud of the work our lake hosts are doing, but this scares the heck out of me. We had three last year and three the year before. Thank you Therese, Evan, Luke, Kathy, Krystal and John.
