Alliance Report

The petition for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief was filed by lawyers for Focus: Tamworth on behalf of forty-six Tamworth residents and taxpayers.

In what may be a repeat of last year’s events, a series of significant late season rainstorms has increased the lake to a flood level when it should be at its lowest to accommodate winter ice.

The logic is inescapable: unless state funding is increased, the more that milfoil spreads in Ossipee Lake, the more that local communities will have to pay to control it.

Professional divers have been hired to hand-pull milfoil from Danforth Brook to upper Danforth Pond, and volunteers are needed to work from boats to assist them.

Ossipee Lake Alliance has asked the United States Army Corps. of Engineers (ACoE) to determine whether noise and lights from the proposed racetrack on Mount Whittier will adversely affect Ossipee Lake property owners.
