Join the Public Hearing for the Manchaug Pond Waterlevel!
3-Sep-2008 Wednesday 7:00PM
PUBLIC HEARING ~ WETLANDS PROTECTION ACT
Sutton Conservation Commission
Sutton Town Hall, 4 Uxbridge Road, Sutton.
Come stand with the Manchaug Pond Association in support of the lake by attending this important meeting. Of concern is the dam owner’s new plan to further lower the water level. We have already experienced negative impacts to our lake with the drying of coves, wetland and channel areas; major fish kills involving all species; decline or loss of spring peepers/amphibian populations; excessive weed growth; public safety hazards from exposed rocks; loss of revenue to town and area businesses with drop in visitors to the State Public Access Boat Ramp and campgrounds.
See what it is all about!
