Upcoming Milfoil Treatment, June 3
Sunday, 11 May 2008
On June 3 (rain date June 4) Lycott Environmental, Inc. of Southbridge, Massachusetts will be treating the milfoil in Northwood Lake with the herbicide 2,4-D. In the upcoming NLWA newsletter a reference is made to a New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services fact sheet titled "Herbicide Use for Controlling Variable-leafed Milfoil in New Hampshire". This fact sheet gives a brief explanation of two herbicides approved for use in the treatment of milfoil in New Hampshire. It can be downloaded here: WD-BB-52 .

Unless someone says differently, I believe we had ice out this past Sunday, April 20, and I heard the loons for the first time this year on Thursday, April 17.

DES to Implement Revised CSPA on April 1
Tuesday, 01 April 2008

The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services announced today that it is preparing to implement the revised Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act. The changes and associated rules will go into effect on April 1, 2008. However, the legislature is currently considering a bill that could later change that effective date. DES understands that this situation may temporarily create uncertainty for development projects within the protected shoreland.

New Shoreland Protection Act Rules
Saturday, 09 February 2008

The Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA) was created in 1994 to protect against erosion and pollution by setting minimum standards and requirements for the development, use, and subdivision of land within 250 feet of the edge of a body of water like Northwood Lake. On April 1, 2008, changes made to the CSPA go into effect. Many of us living within 250 feet of the lake will be affected to some degree by these changes. The NH Department of Environmental Services has a section of their website dedicated to the CSPA; you can read the full document, or just the changes. Click here to visit the site.

 
2008 Photo Gallery
Monday, 14 January 2008
NLWA Member Kim Gardner has contributed two photos to start off the 2008 Photo Gallery. Although the photos are from December of 2007, January 2008 looks EXACTLY like what you'll see a lot of in the photos - snow. Thanks Kim!
 
First Snow of Winter
Thursday, 22 November 2007

The first snowfall of the 2007-2008 winter season happened on Tuesday. I'd say two or three inches fell; roads were slippery and there were accidents. Here it comes, just as it does every year...

The lake is down now, the loons are gone, and people are preparing for winter.  As we head into the holiday season the NLWA board will be thinking about our upcoming spring milfoil treatment, and we'll be working on a season wrap-up newsletter for the end of the year that will include our October lake survey results. In the mean time, have a good Thanksgiving and think spring! Is it too early to say that?
