Specifications include, but are not limited to: This project represents Phase II of the Spofford Lake Watershed Implementation project and will continue the work that began in Phase I. The Spofford Lake Watershed Management Plan (WMP) identified stormwater runoff from the watershed as the highest source of nutrient load to the lake at 50%. Areas of high concern for nutrient-laden stormwater runoff include the direct shoreline area which includes the boat launch and parking lot area. The project involves Southwest Region Planning Commission (SWRPC), in partnership with a range of stakeholders, implementing stormwater controls on one of the 16 watershed survey sites (a public boat launch area) and three priority shoreline survey sites. Treating these sites will reduce phosphorus loading to the lake by an estimated 4.1 kg/yr, meeting 22% of the 19 kg/yr reduction target set by Objective 2 in the WMP.
