A committee has worked diligently
with Phoebe Hardesty (Androscoggin Soil and Water Conservation
District), Roberta Hill and Scott Williams (Land and Watershed
Resource Management Associates), Jessie Mae MacDougall
(Maine Department of Environmental Protection), Fergus Lea
(Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments), Arthur Dunlap (Code
Enforcement Officer, Poland) to plan public meetings, organize surveys
and questionnaires and help document the concerns of those living in the
watershed. The Committee members were Susan
Carbone, Laurie Levine, Nancy McCann (Tripp Lake Camp) Barbara Shapiro,
and Bill and Gerri Tinkham.
The Document will provide
background information about Tripp Lake and its watershed, existing and
potential threats to the lake and the systems already in place to
protect it. The “heart” of the document, however, is the Action
Plan, which incorporates input from members of the lake community and
ideas for addressing those concerns. It will help provide guidance
for the implementation of the recommended actions.
A final survey/questionaire was
sent to all in the watershed in April asking for final thoughts and
input before the Plan is put into print. We appreciate all who have
helped and supported this venture and look forward to receiving the
final document.
