Attention: Northwood Lake Abutters

 

Northwood Lake abutters and users please read the following carefully.


1. The State of NH has granted a permit to the Northwood Lake Watershed Association to treat 40 acres of Northwood Lake infested with milfoil using the chemical 2, 4D on Wednesday, June 16.


2. The state requires that there be no swimming on the lake in the areas treated from 10 a.m., Wed. 6/16 to 10 a,m., Thurs. 6/17. Information on treated areas is available at the Watershed website, www.northwoodlake.com, or at the Northwood boat launch. Maps for taking are at the bulletin board at the launch.


3. If you take your drinking water from the lake and are near (within 1200 feet) of any treated areas, please do not use your water for drinking for 30 days.


4. If you take water from the lake (within 1200 feet) of a treated area, do not use it for irrigation of lawns, vegetables or ornamental plants for 30 days.


5. If you have a well within 50 feet of the lake in the treatment areas, please put a sign up at your shoreline and/or email [email protected] Treatment will stay 50 feet away from your well so you can use it. If not, then your well should not be used for 30 days.


The Watershed Association is working closely with the state and the Loon Preservation Committee. Our principles are: The loons are an important part of our loon ecology and we intend to do do all we can to maintain their health and safe living conditions, even if that means pulling back from some treatment. The milfoil areas the Watershed is treating are heavily infested with milfoil and chemical treatment is the only practical way to remove as much of the milfoil as possible. Finally, follow up treatment with divers who will hand pull the remaining plants. The log term goal is to use as few chemicals as possible and to increase our ability to hand pull multiple times a summer season. Senior Biologist, John Cooley at the Loon Preservation Committee, said they are watching the effects of the chemical 2, 4D on our wildlife very carefully and to date have found no side effects to properly applied chemical treatments.
