To summarize, in comparison to other lakes in the surrounding areas, the water quality of Long Pond is overall fairly good. Prevention is key, because at this point, you still have the opportunity to keep Long Pond North in good condition. The historical Secchi and anoxia trends are serious causes for concern because they indicate that if proper care is not exercised, the water quality of Long Pond could worsen significantly. And now Andrew will speak about land use.
