Survey methods were based on those outlined in the DEP publication, Citizen’s Guide to Lake Watershed Surveys. Letters were sent to all 270 watershed property owners to notify them of the survey and invite their participation in the project. In June 2011, 35 volunteers participated in the training session and field survey. In total, 48 erosion sites were identified in the watershed. Survey data was summarized in the Horne Pond (Pequawket Lake) Watershed Survey Report (December 2011). Survey reports were distributed to town officials and interested residents and posted on partner websites. |
