Next, I�ll talk about our
development assessment. We
counted every home in the Threemile Pond watershed and noted buildings and
other land uses that could affect nutrient loading in the lake.
|
|
|
|
Although the shoreline
represents a small percentage of the watershed, it is the most densely
developed. 203 of the 560 total
homes in the watershed, are within 200 feet of the lake.
|
|
|
|
All homes export Phosphorus
and nutrients and have an impact on the lake water quality, but the shoreline
homes have disproportionate impact because of proximity to the lake and high
home density.

In the second column on the
slide behind me, there is a list of other development in TMP watershed that
could increase nutrient loading: 5 Farms
