Pond Health
Reports
The links below are for Adobe Acrobat Pond Health Reports of MEC sampling of Mashpee's 6 major Ponds. Files have been separated to minimize size and consist of the main report, appendices for each pond plus two sets of watershed maps with the low pixel count poor quality but quicker download plus higher count and quality for clearer viewing.
The appendices contain pond specific data. The main report contains pond data and explanations not found in the individual pond appendix files.
We are pleased to report the General Court of Massachusetts has passed legislation eliminating the dishwashing detergent phosphorus problem. We hope proposed legislation submitted by the "Friends of Santuit Pond" for sensible controls of phosphorus in lawn fertilizers will be successful.
