Abstract: This report discusses lake restoration in the watershed of Cobbossee Stream, which drains 562 sqare kilomters (217 square miles) of Kennebec County immediately west of Augusta, Maine. The watershed contains 28 lakes, three of which (Annabessacook Lake, Cobbossee Lake, and Pleasant Pond) are classified as eutrophic. Lake restoration efforts had been underway since the 1960s, but despite substantial progress, nuisance conditions in the three lakes persisted. The restoration program included alum treatment of one of the lakes and implementation of agricultural pollution control practices in the direct drainage areas of all three.
